Pulchrana laterimaculata
In 3 days ~10% in a week ~20%
Pulchrana laterimaculata, also known as the side-spotted swamp frog, is a species of "true frog", family Ranidae. It is found on the Malay Peninsula from the southernmost Thailand through Malaysia to Singapore, in Sarawak in Borneo, and on the Natuna Besar island in the Indonesian part of the South China Sea.
Pulchrana laterimaculata inhabits lowland freshwater and peat swamp forests. Males call from leaf-litter on the forest floor or perched on low vegetation, less than one metre above ground. While it is locally abundant in suitable habitat and can occur in disturbed habitats adjacent to good stands of intact forest, it can locally suffer from habitat loss. It is believed to be present in several protected areas. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Side-spotted Swamp Frog sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 15th most-seen of the 20 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Side-spotted Swamp Frog in Singapore on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Singapore, in our data
Singapore is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Side-spotted Swamp Frog sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Ranidae
The closest relatives of the Side-spotted Swamp Frog that you can see in Singapore (family Ranidae, Typical Frogs) are White-lipped Frog (about 10%) and Guenther's Frog (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Side-spotted Swamp Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Singapore (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.
