Golden Foam Nest Frog - Polypedates leucomystax

The Golden Foam Nest Frog is a fairly large tree frog that tends to be active only at night when it hunts for small insects and other invertebrates. It is also at night when courtship occurs. Male frogs are smaller than the females, and will gather around any standing water to "woo" the opposite sex. Using its sticky, expanded toe pads, a male will climb up the vegetation and call from one spot until a female locates it. The pair then searches for a spot near water and as they mate, a whitish foam nest is formed and attached to twigs, leaves or walls overhanging the water. The eggs and sperm are released into this foam nest where the tadpoles will form. When the sun rises, the foam nest hardens but within a day or two, or when rain falls, it disintegrates, dispersing the tadpoles into the water below.
