Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Tule Bluet sighting in Vancouver on a given day, based on 27 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 192nd 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.
July
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Tule Bluet in Vancouver on a given day, against under 5% in August to June, the lowest months. That is one of Vancouver's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain against 210 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.
6th of 12
Of the 12 cities where we can rate Tule Bluet sightings, Vancouver ranks 6th at under 5%. The best odds are in Portland (United States, about 10%), Seattle (United States, about 10%) and Denver (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 Vancouver (27 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.
