About

Zhangixalus arboreus is a rhacophorid endemic to Honshu, Japan, recorded from 10 to 2,350 m. Males reach 4.2-6 cm and females 5.9-8.2 cm, noticeably larger than Zhangixalus schlegelii. The back is green with fine reddish-brown mottling, though the pattern varies greatly and some animals are almost unmarked; the red-brown iris is distinctive. It is commonest in hill country, living in forest outside the breeding season and gathering at ponds, paddies and marshes from April to July. Stomach analyses show adults feed mainly on spiders and grasshoppers. It is famous for the foam nests it builds on branches overhanging water, from which the tadpoles wriggle free and drop in. The breeding sites at Heibushi Pond in Kawauchi, Fukushima and Oage Pond in Hachimantai, Iwate are national natural monuments, and several prefectures list the species as threatened or near-threatened.
