Diet
Wallace's flying frog primarily feeds on arthropods, particularly insects. Their dietary preference includes various beetles, caterpillars, ants, and spiders. Exceptionally, they may also consume small vertebrates.
Appearance
Wallace's flying frog is a medium-sized, tree-dwelling frog with a slender body, smooth skin, and elongated legs. Its principal coloration is bright green, contrasted by black palms and soles. This frog has large webbed feet, which enables it to glide. Specimens can demonstrate variation in color intensity based on age, with younger frogs typically more vibrantly colored than older ones. There is little difference in appearance between genders.
Behavior
Wallace's flying frog is a nocturnal, arboreal species exhibiting remarkable gliding ability. Its social dynamics is largely solitary, except during the breeding season where males vocalize to attract mates. Egg deposition occurs above water bodies, in foam nests created by the female's hind legs, allowing the hatched tadpoles to drop into the water. Its major survival adaptation includes camouflaged coloration that blends with its habitat.
