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.
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.
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 .
Some Rhacophoridae are called "tree frogs". Among the most spectacular members of this family are numerous "flying frogs". Although a few groups are primarily terrestrial, rhacophorids are predominantly arboreal treefrogs. Mating frogs, while in amplexus, hold on to a branch, and beat their legs to form a foam. The eggs are laid in the foam and ...

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 ...
