Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Taiga Bluet sighting in Toronto on a given day, based on 31 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 a Taiga Bluet in Toronto on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Taiga 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 4 cities where we can rate Taiga Bluet sightings, Toronto ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Edmonton (Canada, under 5%) and Calgary (Canada, under 5%).
Same family: Coenagrionidae
The closest relatives of the Taiga Bluet that you can see in Toronto (family Coenagrionidae, Narrow-winged Damselflies) are Eastern Forktail (about 10%), Familiar Bluet (about 10%) and Fragile Forktail (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Taiga Bluet is recorded against all the insects logged in Toronto (31 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.
