Forest Green Tree Frogs | Zhangixalus arboreus

This is a pair of forest green tree frogs (Zhangixalus arboreus). The male is facing the camera, female in the rear. This species normally spawns on branches of trees, but sometimes also makes use of manmade structures. Habitat destruction is increasingly restricting their range, as well as limiting suitable spawning locations. This pair chose to spawn on a fence, four to five hours after this photograph was taken. Photographed in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan.
