Aplastodiscus leucopygius is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Brazil. A. leucopygius is a medium-sized frog growing to a length of about 4 cm (1.6 in).

The fingers and toes have large discs on the tips to help the frog retain grip when climbing. The dorsal surface of this frog is smooth and green, with a scattering of white spots, while the ventral surface is granular and cream-coloured with white flecks. The skin above the vent is ornamented by a short, white ridge.
A. leucopygius is an arboreal species and is endemic to the mountains near the south-eastern coast of Brazil at altitudes of 800 to 1,600 metres (2,600 to 5,200 ft) above sea level. It is mainly found in forested areas near streams or temporary pools.
Breeding takes place in the rainy season between December and February. The male calls from trees close to a body of water to attract a female. Often, several males near each other form a chorus. On the arrival, a female selects a male in an... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Guinle Treefrog sighting in São Paulo on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 5th most-seen of the 13 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.
February and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Guinle Treefrog in São Paulo on a given day, against under 5% in March–August and October–January, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Guinle Treefrog 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 São Paulo, in our data
São Paulo is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Guinle Treefrog sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Guinle Treefrog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in São Paulo (17 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.
