Diet
The vibrant black-webbed tree frog thrives principally on a carnivorous diet, chiefly of insects. This primarily includes a substantial intake of arthropods, small crustaceans, and occasionally snacking on smaller amphibians.
Appearance
Black-webbed tree frog is a medium-sized tree frog possessing a streamlined body and webbed feet. Its skin is predominantly a glossy green with distinctive black-outlined white spots scattered across its back and sides. Adult males are generally smaller with bright yellow throats. A prominent feature is black-webbed tree frog's expanded third finger with a disc at the tip, useful for mating calls and facilitating tree based movement.
Behavior
Black-webbed tree frog demonstrates a unique arboreal lifestyle, spending the majority of their existence in trees. They exhibit an extraordinary breeding behavior, creating foam nests over still water bodies. Typically solitary, males engage in vocal competitive behavior to secure mates. Their exceptional gliding ability is a survival adaptation to their canopy habitat.
