    Agalychnis callidryas (Cope, 1862) - Red-Eyed Leaf Frog

    Description & Natural History

    The Red-Eyed Leaf Frog is probably the single-most photographed amphibian species in the world, and are often referred to as the poster-child for the rainforest. It inhabits tropical rainforest in both the Pacific and Atlantic lowlands and foothills of Central America, from the Mexican states of Oaxaca and Veracruz, southward towards Panama, with their range stopping at the Columbian border. At present the Red-Eyed Leaf Frog is considered a common species in most of its range and is not threatened.

    Litoria caerulea (White, 1790) - Green, White's, or Dumpy Treefrog

    Description & Natural History

    Known as the Green Treefrog in Australia, one of its native countries, Litoria caerulea is known by a few other names elsewhere, including the Dumpy Treefrog and White's Treefrog. It was first described by English surgeon John White in 1790 (obviously not the well-known reptile and amphibian photographer whose photos feature in this article), who named it Rana caerulea, which means "blue frog". The specimen he described had been put in a preservative that had destroyed the frog's skin's layer of yellow pigment, giving it a blue appearance. It is interesting to note that some individuals of this species naturally lack some of this yellow pigment, giving them a bluish appearance as well.

    Conclusion

    Gray treefrogs are perhaps the most under-appreciated treefrog in North America. They are found over much of the United States and largely go ignored as pets.
