Agalychnis callidryas/taylori, Red-eyed treefrog
Agalychnis callidryas inhabit lowland tropical forests where there is continuous forest cover. This frog is arboreal and shelters on the underside of broad leaves during the day and during the dry season. Females typically measure up to 77 mm, while males can measure up to 59 mm. Agalychnis callidryas is nocturnally active.
Description
Agalychnis callidryas is a medium-sized, brightly colored frog. This species has leaf-like or dark green skin on the dorsal surfaces, dark blue, purple or brown flanks, with white or yellow vertical or diagonal bars. The presence of temporary or permanent ponds is important for reproduction, which takes place through larval development. It can live in secondary forests, and even in very degraded areas if there is tree cover near the ponds. Not much is known about the diet and feeding behavior of this species. What is known is that it feeds on small invertebrates such as insects and mollusks.
