Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Red-Eyed Damselfly sighting in Wadden Sea National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 699th most-seen of the 818 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.
June
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Red-Eyed Damselfly in Wadden Sea National Park on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red-Eyed Damselfly sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Red-Eyed Damselfly sightings, Wadden Sea National Park ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Biebrza National Park (Poland, about 20%) and Bavarian Forest National Park (Germany, under 5%).
Same family: Coenagrionidae
The closest relatives of the Red-Eyed Damselfly that you can see in Wadden Sea National Park (family Coenagrionidae, Narrow-winged Damselflies) are Blue-Tailed Damselfly (about 10%), Azure Damselfly (about 10%) and Common Blue Damselfly (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red-Eyed Damselfly is recorded against all the insects logged in Wadden Sea National Park (5 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.
