<br><br><small>A large smooth-skinned frog (up to 100 mm). It is usually bright green all over the body - often with small distinct white spots on the back, sides and limbs. The underneath is white and the flashpoint areas are yellow. These flashpoint areas are bright spots of colour which are only visible when the frog jumps - they are thought to be a protective device by means of which predators are startled by the bright flash of colour. The frog\'s snout is short and rounded, the fingers and toes have well-developed webbing and the iris of the eye is pale gold. Green tree frogs hide in cracks in rocks or tree trunks, but many also be found in water tanks and letterboxes. Each female frog lays several thousand small dark eggs on the surface of still water. This species is widespread over the northern parts of Australia.<br><small>© Copyright PayTel Australia Pty. Ltd. 1995<\/small><\/small>','PayTel Australia Pty.

<br><br><small>This is a strikingly coloured moderately large frog (up to 65 mm). The back and the upper surface of the forearms and lower legs are a deep bluish-green - the underside is a deep yellow with a coarse granular texture. The rest of the legs are yellow with a purple patch at the back of the thigh. The iris of the eye of this species of frog is a bright orange. The hands and feet have very large discs and well-developed webs between the fingers and toes. They lay their eggs in a loose mat on the water, often entangled with the vegetation. It is to be found in coastal rainforests in Queensland and New South Wales. They may congregate in and around flooded areas in Spring and Summer.<br><small>© Copyright PayTel Australia Pty.
