Moss Bug-eyed Frog
Theloderma corticale
The adult moss bug-eyed frog inhabits humid mountain forests, especially wet limestone areas, caves, and water-filled tree hollows in northern Vietnam and nearby regions. It ambushes insects and other small invertebrates while sitting nearly invisible against mossy bark and stone. Its rough, tubercled skin and green-black pattern are among the strongest camouflage displays of any tree frog. When alarmed, it can curl up, play dead, or give calls from hidden wet shelters.
