frog of the day :)

This is kind of like half of a frog of the day...ive made an entry for this frog before, but I’m making a different one to showcase some of it’s cool colourations! I might do this for some other frogs in the future too!

This is agalychnis callidryas, the red eyed tree frog, again!

I wanted to show you it’s two albino colourations - it can be either purple or yellow!

Here’s the purple colouration - it also changes their eyes from red to black! But they keep those nice orange feet!

And here’s the yellow-albino red eyed tree frog! They get these beautiful light pink eyes- they kind of remind me of sphinx cats in a weird (but good!!) way

Today the Stickyfrogs got to meet some Very Cool Leaf Frogs who live at the Manchester Museum’s Vivarium! Thank you very much to Andrew Gray and Matthew O’Donnell for your fantastic informative virtual tour! 🐸😀🐸

You can find them at frogblogmanchester.com 🐸

frog of the day :)

this cutie pie is agalychnis spurrelli, common names: Gliding leaf frog, gliding tree frog, Spurrell’s leaf frog, pink sided tree frog

(Image source)

Habitat: subtropical/tropical lowland forests

Found in: Costa Rica, Panama, Columbia, Ecuador

Fun fact(s): They are nocturnal (like most frogs) and live all the way up in the canopies of the trees.

It is named after the British author and zoologist Herbert George Flaxman Spurrell (long name)

These are a type of flying (or gliding) frog. Their common names may suggest they are the only ones, but there are quite a few more. Flying frogs are all tree frogs (with the exceptions of some toads) and do not have a genus, family, or subfamily all to themselves. They are unexpectedly scattered all throughout various groups.

Agalychnis lemur, common names: lemur leaf frog, lemur frog, lemur tree frog

These are one of my favorite frogs (:

Habitat: Pre-montane rain forests

Found in: Costa Rica

Fun fact(s): While they are the green colour seen above in daylight, at night their skin changes to a more brown colour for camouflage! They are mostly nocturnal. Their colour in both day and night is meant to camouflage with leaves. They rest under said leaves when they sleep, which is always during the day.

In the past they where miscategorized into the phyllomedusa genus, mainly due to the structure of the webbing on their feet

Agalychnis annae, common names: blue sided tree frog, golden eyed tree frog

(image source)

Habitat: Tropical rain forests

Found in: Costa Rica and Panama

It is a leaf frog (subfamily: Phyllomedusidae) which is the same as the much more well known red-eyed tree frog, if you think this dude looks very similar that’s why!! They are very closely related, and both types of true tree frogs as well!

Agalychnis callidryas, common name: Red-eyed tree frog

(Image source)

Habitat: Neotropical rain forests

Found in: Mexico, Central America and Columbia

Fun fact(s): They are nocturnal, like most frogs, and sleep under leaves during the day to hide from predators.

They have three eyelids on each eye, which is cool! And the colour of their tadpoles varies on environmental factors, even though the adults don’t.

These frogs are some of the most well known frogs, and very recognizable! Definitely the most well known tree frog! :)
