No species of the same family or order lives in Great Bear Rainforest, so these are its closest relatives here: other insects.
Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Arctic Bristletail sighting in Great Bear Rainforest on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 200th most-seen of the 235 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March, May and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Arctic Bristletail in Great Bear Rainforest on a given day, against under 5% in April, June and August–February, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Arctic Bristletail sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Great Bear Rainforest, in our data
Great Bear Rainforest is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Arctic Bristletail sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Arctic Bristletail is recorded against all the insects logged in Great Bear Rainforest (7 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
