Günther's toadlet (GOON-terz TOHD-let) (Pseudophryne guentheri) is a species of frog in the family Myobatrachidae. It is endemic to Australia and is listed as least concern on the IUCN Red List. This is a species of interest for many researchers due to its local Genetic variation, climate adaptation, and reproductive specialization.
Also sometimes referred to as the crawling toadlet, Günther's toadlet was named after Albert Günther, who named many species of frogs and reptiles throughout Australia. This frog is a small, robust, warty species that can found in Southwestern Australia along the coast in cities like Kalbarri, Western Australia, Esperance, Western Australia, and Perth, as well as more inland regions such as Wheatbelt (Australia), Darling Scarp, and the Great Southern. It is a ground-dwelling species that moves by crawling and can be identified by its unique markings. This species is primarily brown and gray in color and bears a dark bar between its eyes and an "x" above its shoulders. The underside of the species has blotchy black markings against a white background. They appear somewhat flattened in stature, with a small head and short limbs... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Günther's Toadlet sighting in Perth on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 9th most-seen of the 10 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April–July and October–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Günther's Toadlet in Perth on a given day, against under 5% in August–September and December–March, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Günther's Toadlet 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 Perth, in our data
Perth is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Günther's Toadlet sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Myobatrachidae
The closest relatives of the Günther's Toadlet that you can see in Perth (family Myobatrachidae, Australian Ground Frogs) are Glauert's Froglet (about 10%), Squelching Froglet (about 10%) and Turtle Frog (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Günther's Toadlet is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Perth (11 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.
