Common Asian Tree Frog (Polypedates leucomystax)

It appears, we had to spend some time catching this frog as it jumped here and there. First it stayed calm on dried leaf, and not long after taking some photos, it jumped to the grass, and bounced from one place to another. As we indeed wanted to get its photos, i managed to get it back by placing green leave upon its way. Yep! It knew what it did. This frog was back on the leaf, and my friend held it tightly while making sure it was quite safe being around us. Seeing that, I started to take a few photos from distance with my camera, and thrilled to see it there in this way. Not all tree frogs spent much time in trees. Sometime we can also find them sitting on plant leaves that allow us to see the unique features of this frog as well as the feature that unites them with their feet—the last bone in their toes (called the terminal phalanx) is shaped like a claw. Tree frogs also have toe pads to help them climb and many have extra skeletal structures in their toes. Adult tree frogs feed on flies, ants, crickets, beetles, moths, and other small invertebrates. However, as tadpoles, most of them are herbivores.
