With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Tule Bluet sighting in Seattle on a given day, based on 83 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 73rd most-seen of the 428 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May to August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Tule Bluet in Seattle on a given day, against under 5% in September to April, the lowest months. Those are among Seattle's driest months, with about 40 mm of rain a month against 190 mm in November.
Between 8 and 11 am
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.
Among the best
Of the 12 cities where we can rate Tule Bluet sightings, Seattle ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Portland (United States, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tule Bluet is recorded against all the insects logged in Seattle (83 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.
