With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Fowler's Snouted Tree Frog sighting in Guayaquil on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February–March, June–July and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Fowler's Snouted Tree Frog in Guayaquil on a given day, against under 5% in January, April–May and August–November, the lowest months. Those are among Guayaquil's wettest months, with about 95 mm of rain a month against almost none in September.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Fowler's Snouted Tree Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Guayaquil, in our data
Guayaquil is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Fowler's Snouted Tree Frog sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Fowler's Snouted Tree Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Guayaquil (6 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.
