Likely
About 50% of wildlife watchers report a Tiger-Striped Leaf Frog sighting in Brownsberg Nature Park on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 5th most-seen of the 18 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 90%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and October–November
In those months about 70% of wildlife watchers report a Tiger-Striped Leaf Frog in Brownsberg Nature Park on a given day, against about 10% in March, July and December, the lowest months. June and August–September have too few records to rate.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tiger-Striped Leaf Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Brownsberg Nature Park (17 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.
