Hyalinobatrachium orientale is a species of glass frog in the family Centrolenidae. It is found on the island of Tobago and in eastern Venezuela (Paria Peninsula and Sierra de Lema). Its common name is eastern glass frog (in Spanish ranita de cristal oriental). The Tobagonian population has been described as subspecies Hyalinobatrachium orientalis tobagoensis (Hardy, 1984). The latter is sometimes referred to as Tobago glass frog. H. orientale is distributed throughout the Central Eastern ranges of the Cordillera de la Costa (the coastal mountain range) in Venezuela and Tobago Island with an altitudinal range of 190 to 1200 meters.
Glass frog embryos are able to hatch in regards to environmental cues with risk factors. Egg clutches of glass frogs are always usually laid on the undersides of Heliconia leaves. Its natural habitats are tropical rainforests. It is threatened by habitat loss. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report an Eastern Glass Frog sighting in Main Ridge Forest Reserve on a given day, based on 27 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 7th most-seen of the 10 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report an Eastern Glass Frog in Main Ridge Forest Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in February–May and September–October, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Eastern Glass Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Main Ridge Forest Reserve, in our data
Main Ridge Forest Reserve is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Eastern Glass Frog sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Anura
The closest relatives of the Eastern Glass Frog that you can see in Main Ridge Forest Reserve (order Anura, Frogs and Toads) are Eastern Cane Toad (about 60%), Charlotteville Robber Frog (about 50%) and Smooth-skinned Ditch Frog (about 50%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eastern Glass Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Main Ridge Forest Reserve (27 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.
