Theloderma corticale (common names: mossy frog, [3] Vietnamese mossy frog, [4] Tonkin bug-eyed frog, moss bug-eyed frog, [2] and [for the formerly recognized Theloderma kwangsiense] Kwangsi warty treefrog) is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae.The theloderma corticale is often difficult to identify visually as there are cryptic species that look very similar to it.
Some Rhacophoridae are called "tree frogs". Among the most spectacular members of this family are numerous "flying frogs". Although a few groups are primarily terrestrial, rhacophorids are predominantly arboreal treefrogs. Mating frogs, while in amplexus, hold on to a branch, and beat their legs to form a foam. The eggs are laid in the foam and ...
Theloderma, the bug-eyed frogs, mossy frogs or warty frogs, [1] is a genus of frogs in the family Rhacophoridae, subfamily Rhacophorinae. [2] They are found from northeastern India and southern China, through Southeast Asia, to the Greater Sunda Islands ; the highest species richness is in Indochina . [ 3 ]
The archaeobatrachians are the most primitive of frogs. These frogs have morphological characteristics which are found mostly in extinct frogs, and are absent in most of the modern frog species. Most of these characteristics are not common between all the families of Archaeobatrachia, or are not absent from all the modern species of frogs.
Rhacophorus is a genus of frogs in the shrub-frog family Rhacophoridae, which, with the related Hylidae, is one of the two genera of true tree frogs. They are found in China, India, Japan, and throughout Southeast Asia, including the island of Borneo. Over 40 species are currently recognised. [1]

This photo provided by researchers in December 2022 shows a glass frog, strict leaf dwelling frogs, that sleep, forage, fight, mate, and provide (male) parental care on leaves over tropical streams.
This frog has a body length of about 10 cm (4 in), making it one of the largest moss frogs. Males are smaller than females. Its back skin is finely granulated and the color is vivid green without markings, distinguishing it from the otherwise quite similar R. pseudomalabaricus , which has a black-marbled back and was long included in the ...
