Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Boreal Bluet sighting in Rocky Mountain National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 161st most-seen of the 191 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.
July
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Boreal Bluet in Rocky Mountain National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August to June, the lowest months. That is one of Rocky Mountain National Park's wettest months, with about 95 mm of rain against 40 mm in September.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Boreal 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 2 parks where we can rate Boreal Bluet sightings, Rocky Mountain National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Great Bear Rainforest (Canada, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Boreal Bluet is recorded against all the insects logged in Rocky Mountain National Park (6 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.
