Red-Eyed Tree Frog

Agalychnis callidryas, better known as the Red-Eyed Tree Frog, is an arboreal hylid native to Neotropical rainforests where it ranges from Mexico, through Central America, to Colombia. The majority of the time, adult red-eyed tree frogs eat carnivorous insects like flies, grasshoppers, crickets, and moths. They occasionally consume smaller amphibians. Tadpoles eat bacteria, lipids, algae, plankton, and carrion. Froglets start eating tiny insects like fruit flies and pinhead crickets after they undergo metamorphosis.

The eyes of this species are big, vivid red, and have vertically narrowed pupils. With a vivid green body, vertical yellow and blue stripes down its side, a white bottom, vibrant red or orange feet, and red eyes, the red-eyed tree frog is incredibly colorful. They can cling to leaves thanks to the adhesive pads on their toes as well. The belly of the red-eyed treefrog has thin, delicate skin, while the back has thicker, coarser skin. The ladies are slightly larger at around 3 inches, while the boys are typically about two inches long.
