Diet
Phyllomedusa camba proudly wears the mantle of an insectivore, largely subsisting on arthropods. Notably, it displays an interesting predilection towards ants and small beetles, fulfilling their dietary requirements while actively contributing to the natural pest control cycle in their habitats.
Appearance
Phyllomedusa camba is a medium-sized tree frog known for its smooth, shiny, predominantly lime-green skin. Notable features include large eyes, intense orange thigh patches, and long, slender limbs. Bright overtones of blue are common around its sides and across the back, contrasting vividly with the smooth, green upper body. There are no significant differences in appearance due to age, gender, or subspecies.
Behavior
Phyllomedusa camba are nocturnal tree-dwelling frogs. They exhibit a distinctive 'waxy' behavior, secreting a lipid coating to prevent water loss. During mating, males create and defend small territories, vocalizing aggressively to ward off rivals. They show unique reproductive behaviour, laying eggs on leaves over water, from which hatching tadpoles drop into.
