Bird poo frog (unconfirmed due to image quality)
Scientific Name: Theloderma asperum (likely candidate)
Order & Family: Order: Anura; Family: Rhacophoridae
Size: Approximately 2 to 4 centimeters (0.8 to 1.6 inches)
Natural Habitat
Tropical and subtropical moist lowland forests, heavily degraded former forests, and sometimes near human dwellings.
Diet & Feeding
Insectivorous, primarily eating small invertebrates like ants, flies, and beetles.
Behavior Patterns
Primarily nocturnal. These animals use camouflage (mimicking bird droppings) to avoid predation during the day while resting on leaves or branches. They are typically arboreal, meaning they live in trees.
Risks & Benefits
No significant risks to humans. Beneficially controls insect populations within their delicate ecosystem and serves as a classic example of disruptive coloration/camouflage in nature.
