Field Notes

Description:

The Indian tree frog, also known as the common tree frog, is a small amphibian found across India and parts of Southeast Asia. These frogs are known for their vibrant green color, which helps them blend into their leafy surroundings. They have sticky pads on their toes that allow them to climb trees and other vertical surfaces with ease. Indian tree frogs are primarily nocturnal and can often be heard calling out during the rainy season. They feed on insects and other small invertebrates, playing an important role in controlling pest populations. These frogs are a fascinating example of the diverse wildlife found in India.
