Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Mountain Treefrog sighting in Toluca on a given day, based on 22 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September and October
In those months about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Mountain Treefrog in Toluca on a given day, against under 5% in November to March, the lowest months. Those are among Toluca's wettest months, with about 110 mm of rain a month against 5 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.
Yes
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Mountain Treefrog sightings, Toluca has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come León (México, about 20%) and Puebla (México, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mountain Treefrog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Toluca (22 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.
