Craugastor laticeps (common name: broad-headed rainfrog, and many variations) is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is found in Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, and southern Mexico. Craugastor laticeps occurs in leaf-litter in lowland and premontane tropical forest. It tolerates moderate habitat alteration and can be found in cacao and coffee plantations. There are some threats to this species due to habitat loss.
Craugastor laticeps might be unique among craugastorid frogs (which normally have direct development): one observation suggests that the species is ovoviviparous, ovipositing eggs with fully developed young almost ready to hatch. The female frog in question was 66 mm (2.6 in) in snout–vent length and laid 44 eggs, and the hatching or newly hatched froglets were about 13–14 mm (0.51–0.55 in) in snout–vent length. Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Broad-headed rainfrog sighting in Cerro Azul Meámbar National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 5th most-seen of the 7 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Broad-headed rainfrog in Cerro Azul Meámbar National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March–May and October–December, the lowest months. That is one of Cerro Azul Meámbar National Park's wettest months, with about 360 mm of rain against 80 mm in February.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Broad-headed rainfrog sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Cerro Azul Meámbar National Park, in our data
Cerro Azul Meámbar National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Broad-headed rainfrog sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Broad-headed rainfrog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Cerro Azul Meámbar 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.
