Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Tule Bluet sighting in Olympic National Park on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 113th most-seen of the 207 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.
August and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Tule Bluet in Olympic National Park on a given day, against under 5% in October to July, the lowest months. Those are among Olympic National Park's driest months, with about 85 mm of rain a month against 370 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.
Only Olympic National Park, in our data
Olympic National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Tule Bluet sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Odonata
The closest relatives of the Tule Bluet that you can see in Olympic National Park (order Odonata, Dragonflies and Damselflies) are Paddle-Tailed Darner (about 10%), Black Petaltail (about 10%) and Eight-Spotted Skimmer (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tule Bluet is recorded against all the insects logged in Olympic National Park (11 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.
