With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Mountain Treefrog sighting in Puebla on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Mountain Treefrog in Puebla on a given day, against under 5% in March, May, August and November–January, the lowest months. That is one of Puebla's wettest months, with about 160 mm of rain against 10 mm in December.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Mountain Treefrog sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Mountain Treefrog sightings, Puebla ranks 3rd at about 10%. The best odds are in Toluca (México, about 30%) and León (México, about 20%).
Same order: Anura
The closest relatives of the Mountain Treefrog that you can see in Puebla (order Anura, Frogs and Toads) are Peters' Shiny Peeping Frog (about 20%) and Mexican Spadefoot (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mountain Treefrog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Puebla (9 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.
