Sachatamia albomaculata is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae. It is found in Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama, western Colombia, and northwestern Ecuador. Its natural habitats are humid lowland and premontane forest from sea level to about 1,500 m (4,900 ft) above sea level. It typically occurs in bushes and trees along forest streams, but populations can persist even along streams in pastures with minimal riparian growth. It is a common species that can locally be threatened by habitat loss but is not facing major threats as a species. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-flecked Glassfrog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Piedras Blancas National Park (7 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.
