Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Tree Damsel Bug sighting in Vancouver on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 404th most-seen of the 482 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Tree Damsel Bug in Vancouver on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Tree Damsel Bug sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
20th of 20
Of the 20 cities where we can rate Tree Damsel Bug sightings, Vancouver ranks 20th at under 5%. The best odds are in Berlin (Germany, about 10%), Kharkiv (Ukraine, about 10%) and Kyiv (Ukraine, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tree Damsel Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Vancouver (6 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.
