Plectrohyla exquisita is a species of frogs in the family Hylidae. Before its description in 1998, it was confused with Plectrohyla teuchestes. It is endemic to the Sierra de Omoa in the Cortés Department of northwestern Honduras. The species range is within the Cusuco National Park.
Natural habitats of Plectrohyla exquisita are lower montane wet forests at elevations of 1,490–1,680 m (4,890–5,510 ft) asl. They are found on low vegetation along streams and breed in streams. It is moderately common but assumed to be in decline because of chytridiomycosis. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Sierra de Omoa Spikethumb Frog sighting in Cusuco National Park on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 9th most-seen of the 12 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and July
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Sierra de Omoa Spikethumb Frog in Cusuco National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August–October and December–April, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Sierra de Omoa Spikethumb Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen 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 Sierra de Omoa Spikethumb Frog sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sierra de Omoa Spikethumb Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Cusuco National Park (19 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.
