Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Loja Rainfrog sighting in Podocarpus National Park on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 3rd most-seen of the 6 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Loja Rainfrog in Podocarpus National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June–October and December–March, the lowest months.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Loja Rainfrog 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 Podocarpus National Park, in our data
Podocarpus National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Loja Rainfrog sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Pristimantis
The closest relatives of the Loja Rainfrog that you can see in Podocarpus National Park (genus Pristimantis, Rain and Robber Frogs) are Lyman's Robber Frog (about 40%), Cajamarca Robber Frog (about 20%) and Espada's Robber Frog (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Loja Rainfrog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Podocarpus National Park (9 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.
