Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Golden-groined Robber Frog sighting in Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve on a given day, based on 48 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 5th most-seen of the 19 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.
February–May and July–August
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Golden-groined Robber Frog in Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve on a given day, against about 10% in June and September–January, the lowest months.
Between 6 and 9 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Golden-groined Robber Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Among the best
Of the 6 parks where we can rate Golden-groined Robber Frog sightings, Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve ranks 2nd at about 20%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Chirripó National Park (Costa Rica, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Golden-groined Robber Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve (48 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.
