Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Guenther's Frog sighting in Changsha on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and July
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Guenther's Frog in Changsha on a given day, against under 5% in October to March, the lowest months. Those are among Changsha's wettest months, with about 200 mm of rain a month against 60 mm in December.
5th of 12

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Guenther's Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Changsha (16 verified sightings), 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.
