Blue-sided Leaf Frogs are still declining in the wild. Predominantly from Costa Rica Leaf Frogs or Monkey Frogs (family Phyllomedusidae) are so named because they often lay their eggs on leaves or other structures above water. When the eggs hatch the tadpoles drop down into the water below. Leaf and Monkey Frogs are a specialized relative of Tree Frogs (family Hylidae) from Central and South America. #AmphibiousAF #LeafFrog
