Where to see them
Did you know…
The night chorus of calling males carries several hundred metres, despite how small the frog is.

From Common Tree Frog
It lives in woodland, hedgerows, gardens and ground near standing water across much of Europe.
From Common Tree Frog

From Stripeless Treefrog
Among the small arthropods it hunts, it favours moths and mosquito larvae.
From Stripeless Treefrog
Its choruses are among the densest in the Neotropics: hundreds of males calling at once from the vegetation over a pool make a noise that makes conversation difficult a few metres away.
The males time their calls so as not to overlap with their neighbour, alternating within microseconds so that each is audible separately to the females.
