This species occurs in tropical rainforest at elevations up to 1,000 m (3,300 ft) above sea level, but mostly below 400 m (1,300 ft). It is an arboreal frog. During the rainy season, adults can be seen perched on stems and small branches above slow-moving streams. The eggs are deposited in water where the larvae will then develop.
The red-eyed tree frog is commonly found in tropical rainforests in the previously listed countries. The frog is primarily arboreal, and prefers hiding in canopy cover amongst leaves. Agalychnis callidryas require high humidity levels of at least 80%.
Cruziohyla craspedopus is a high-canopy frog of primary tropical lowland rainforest at elevations of 50–600 m (160–1,970 ft) above sea level. It only descends to lower branches for breeding, which takes place in fallen trees holding small water pools. However, tadpoles have also been found in small pools on the ground.
Tree frogs are members of these families or genera: Hylidae, or "true" treefrogs, occur in the temperate to tropical parts of Eurasia north of the Himalayas, Australia and the Americas. Rhacophoridae, or shrub frogs, are the treefrogs of tropical regions around the Indian Ocean: Africa, South Asia and Southeast Asia east to Lydekker's line.
The dorsal side of the frog is marked with white spots while its sides are marked with yellow spots. The ventral side of the frog is yellow in color. The thigh of Rhacophorus kio is grass green with the posterior region possessing an orange-yellow color. There is a distinct and large black spot clearly visible near the armpit regions.
Specimen in the Tapir Valley Nature Reserve, Costa Rica. The sole known habitat of this species is only the type locality, an 8-hectare (20-acre) lentic wetland with an emergent benthic zone dominated by herbaceous vegetation, all of which is surrounded by a tropical rainforest located between two volcanoes in the Tapir Valley Nature Reserve, which is adjacent to the Tenorio Volcano National ...
Rhacophorus reinwardtii is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is variously known under the common names of black-webbed treefrog, green flying frog, Reinwardt's flying frog, or Reinwardt's treefrog. Before 2006, Rhacophorus reinwardtii and Rhacophorus kio were considered to be the same species. [2]
Rhacophorus is a genus of frogs in the shrub-frog family Rhacophoridae, which, with the related Hylidae, is one of the two genera of true tree frogs. They are found in China, India, Japan, and throughout Southeast Asia, including the island of Borneo. Over 40 species are currently recognised. [1]
