With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Tule Bluet sighting in Portland on a given day, based on 215 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 36th most-seen of the 507 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and July
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Tule Bluet in Portland on a given day, against under 5% in November to April, the lowest months. Those are among Portland's driest months, with about 35 mm of rain a month against 250 mm in December.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Tule Bluet sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tule Bluet is recorded against all the insects logged in Portland (215 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
