Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Eastern Red Damsel sighting in Toronto on a given day, based on 34 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 503rd most-seen of the 1689 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Eastern Red Damsel in Toronto on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months.
Only Toronto, in our data
Toronto is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Eastern Red Damsel sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Coenagrionidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eastern Red Damsel is recorded against all the insects logged in Toronto (34 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.
