Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White-Lipped Blood Bee 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.
August
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a White-Lipped Blood Bee in Wadden Sea National Park on a given day, against under 5% in September to July, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-Lipped Blood Bee sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 parks where we can rate White-Lipped Blood Bee sightings, Wadden Sea National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Bavarian Forest National Park (Germany, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-Lipped Blood Bee 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.
