The Common Tree Frog, Four-lined Tree Frog, or Striped Tree Frog (Polypedates leucomystax) is a species in the shrub frog family (Rhacophoridae). Many past authors have united it with the Common Indian Tree Frog in P. maculatus (or Rhacophorus maculatus, as was common in older times), but today they are generally distinct species. In its native range, it is also called "white-lipped tree frog" but this name is otherwise applied to a species of true tree frogs (family Hylidae).
It is found in Bangladesh, Brunei, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, the Philippines, Singapore, North America, Thailand, Vietnam, and possibly Bhutan.
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, subtropical or tropical moist shrubland, subtropical or tropical seasonally wet or flooded lowland grassland, rivers, intermittent rivers, freshwater lakes, intermittent freshwater lakes, freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marches, freshwater springs, rocky shores, coastal freshwater lagoons, arable land, pastureland, plantations, rural gardens, urban areas, water storage areas, ponds, aquaculture ponds, irrigated land, seasonally flooded agricultural land, and introduced vegetation.

Location: Highland of Sabah, Malaysia
Possibly Java Indonesian Treefrog.
A new record of sort for Sabah, Malaysia. Nyctixalus margaritifer is supposed to be endemic to Java, Indonesia. Hence, this could be a new locality record for this area. Confirmation needed.
Bird-voiced (Hyla avivoca, bottom), hybrid (middle), and Gray Treefrog (H. chrysoscelis, top). Choctawhatchee River, FL.
A few glamor shots of a little Gray Treefrog I saw earlier this month. I love finding these guys and getting a few photos but their camouflage is just so good. I am sure I am missing many more than I am seeing.
Es una rana arbórea nocturna que habita los bosques húmedos y húmedos de las tierras bajas cerca de las piscinas rocosas poco profundas, y los bancos de la corriente. Puede sobrevivir en el bosque secundario, pero generalmente necesita una buena cobertura vegetal. En Costa Rica, se ha observado en áreas relativamente abiertas.
Pugnosed Treefrog
Rana arboricola ñata
(smilisca sila )
The Red-eyed Tree Frog in Costa Rica usually sleeps under a big leaf hiding their bright parts, tucking their orange feet under their belly and keeping their big eyes closed. That way they appear fully green and blend in with their surroundings. You can see the membrane partially covering the eye.

Thank you for your visit and comments.
..... flattened against a rock, presumably this is his "you can't see me" stealth mode. It works quite well.
While approaching the front door of our home a couple of nights ago, this treefrog was right at eye level with me on the wall. So, I ran inside, grabbed my camera gear, and got a few shots. ...then I left him alone!
His ability to stick to the stucco finished wall and just sit there is really astounding. It is not a tacky surface, at all.
Beautiful creature.
