The bromeliad tree frog (Bromeliohyla bromeliacia) is a species of frogs in the family Hylidae. It is found in Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, and southern Mexico. In Spanish, this frog is known as rana arborícula de bromelia. This frog used to be classified as Hyla bromeliacia before it was moved to the newly formed genus Bromeliohyla in 2005.
Males measure 24.1–29.5 mm and females 32.0–36.0 mm in snout–vent length. The bromeliad tree frog is found in premontane and lower montane wet forests on the Atlantic side of Chiapas State in Mexico, in the Maya Mountains of Belize and Guatemala, in central Guatemala, and in northwest Honduras, at elevations of 350 to 1,790 m (1,150 to 5,870 ft) above sea level. It is found in Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico naturally.
These frogs lay their eggs in the water-filled rosettes of bromeliads or other temporary, water-filled crevices in the canopy, such as the leaf sheaths of banana leaves. The tadpoles complete their development in these small pools.
A study was undertaken in Honduras to discover whether these frogs were infected by the chytrid fungus, which is causing devastation among... Wikipedia →

Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Bromeliad tree frog sighting in Cusuco National Park on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 2nd most-seen of the 12 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Bromeliad tree frog in Cusuco National Park on a given day, against about 10% in April–May, August and October, the lowest months. March and November–January have too few records to rate.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Bromeliad tree frog 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 Cusuco National Park, in our data
Cusuco National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Bromeliad tree frog sightings: about 40% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Hylidae
The closest relatives of the Bromeliad tree frog that you can see in Cusuco National Park (family Hylidae, Hylid Tree Frogs) are Mexican Smilisca (about 30%), Copan brook frog (about 30%) and Honduras Spikethumb Frog (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bromeliad tree frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Cusuco National Park (11 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
