Polypedates leucomystax
Description
Known under numerous common names including Four-lined Treefrog, Golden Treefrog or Striped Treefrog, the Common Treefrog is a small to medium-sized frog that lives in sub-tropical and tropical areas of Southeast Asia. The hind feet are webbed while the front feet have wide cushioned toes that can grip onto vegetation. Females deposit from 100-400 eggs in oval-shaped foam nests constructed on plants above temporary pools, or attached to a surface by the water's edge. Hatching takes place after three to four days, when the larvae wriggle free of the foam nest and drop into the water below. This is a 3-D printed, hand-painted model.
