Gracixalus gracilipes, commonly known as the Chapa bubble-nest frog, black eye-lidded small tree frog, yellow and black-spotted tree frog or slender-legged bush frog, is a species of shrub frog from northern Vietnam, southern China (Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong), and northwestern Thailand (and, presumably, also in adjacent Myanmar). [2] [1]
In the red-eyed tree frog's case, the frog's startling red eyes are hidden when its eyes are closed allowing it to blend in with leaves. When the frog is startled, it can flash its bright red eyes, orange webbed feet, and blue and yellow lateral stripes, which all serve the purpose of startling predators and allowing the frog time to escape.

They look very close to the naked eye except glass frog's eyes point forward and are golden. During the day, these frogs camouflage themselves under leaves but above water. Male glass frogs are 19–28 mm long, while females measure from 23–32 mm long. They have a green semi-translucent color with yellow translucent hands.
Eleutherodactylus spp. are small tree frogs that can vary in color. These frogs can be a mixture of brown, yellow, green, and gray on the top and either white or yellow on the bottom side of their body. The eye color is a variation of brown and gold. They can range in size from 15–80 millimetres (0.59–3.15 in). [3]
The yellow-spotted tree frog is pale green with bronze patches that highlight dark spots. It has entirely webbed toes and is set apart from other frogs by the cream markings on its thighs.
A narrow but prominent, bright yellow or gold-colored fold of skin runs from the back of the eye to the hind legs. [11] [14] The upper lip is also golden in color. The underside of the frog is lighter in color than the back, ranging from pale yellow to white. [10] [14] Younger frogs have brighter colors. [13] The fingers are long and slender.
The inner thighs of these frogs are bright yellow, which helps to confuse a predator when the frog jumps and reveals the color. The toes have sticky pads that are useful in their arboreal life. [8] The skin on their heads is fused to the skull; if the head of an adult frog is rubbed (between the eyes), the skin does not move.
The yellow morph is the reason Phyllobates terribilis has the common name golden poison frog. These frogs can be pale yellow to deep, golden yellow in color. Yellow Phyllobates terribilis specimens are found in Quebrada Guangui, Colombia. [12]
