Diet
Canebrake tree frog primarily feeds on small invertebrates, specializing in a diet predominantly comprised of ants and terrestrial arthropods. This affirms its integral role in local insect population control.
Appearance
Canebrake tree frog is a medium-sized frog with a smooth skin texture. Its primary coloration is bright, lime-green, but this can vary slightly amongst individuals. Adults can be distinguished from young frogs by their size and somewhat more vibrant color. Females tend to be somewhat larger than males. They are known for their rounded body shape and large, distinctive eyes. Other striking features include long, slender legs and a short, pointed snout.
Behavior
Canebrake tree frog exhibits largely nocturnal behavior, typically resting during the day in tree holes or under vegetation. Within its forest habitat, this frog presents a predominantly solitary nature, except during the breeding season. Its mating call, a distinctive whistle in the rainy season, is an adaptive behavior for attracting mates. Its vibrant green color acts as camouflage amidst leafy canopies.
