Identification and description:
The Litoria chloris, commonly known as the Red-eyed Green Treefrog, is a species of arboreal frog native to Australia. It is distinguished by its bright green color and characteristic red eyes. Measuring between 4 and 7 cm, it has webbed feet that allow it to leap agilely from tree to tree. This species is primarily nocturnal and feeds on insects, which it captures with its sticky tongue. It inhabits tropical rainforests, often near water bodies. The green tree frog plays a crucial role in the ecosystem by regulating insect populations. Although currently classified as "least concern" by the IUCN, deforestation and climate change threaten its natural habitat.

Recommended lens:
Macro – adjust based on distance, desired framing (portrait or habitat), and approach conditions.

Photography tips:
To photograph the Red-eyed Green Treefrog, it is advisable to use a macro lens to capture the details of its skin and red eyes. Focus on nighttime hours, as this frog is more active at night. Use a tripod to stabilize your camera and avoid motion blur. A flashlight with a red filter can be useful to illuminate the subject without scaring it. Be patient and wait for the frog to settle on a leaf or branch to get a natural background.
