Japanese Tree Frog
Dryophytes japonicus
The adult lives around rice fields, ponds, shrubs, and trees, often climbing vegetation near water. It ambushes flies, mosquitoes, moths, and other small arthropods with a rapid tongue strike. Green or brown body color helps it blend into leaves, bark, and grasses while resting by day. Males give loud breeding calls around wetlands, especially during the rainy season.
