Phyllodytes luteolus
In 3 days ~40% in a week ~70%
The yellow heart-tongued frog (Phyllodytes luteolus) is a species of frog in the family Hylidae endemic to Brazil. It has been observed as high as 650 meters above sea level. This frog lives in the Atlantic forest and Caaatingas habitats, on bromeliad plants. The female frog lays a few eggs per clutch, making use of more than one bromeliad per season.
This frog is not in danger of extinction, though some local populations are threatened by habitat loss and the collection of the bromeliad plants upon which they depend. However, unlike some other frogs in Phyllodytes, this frog can live in degraded habitats, such as secondary forests growing back after being cut down. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow Heart-tongued Frog sighting in Niterói on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow Heart-tongued Frog in Niterói on a given day, against under 5% in February, May–June, August and November–December, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow Heart-tongued Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Niterói, in our data
Niterói is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Yellow Heart-tongued Frog sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow Heart-tongued Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Niterói (14 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.
