Snouted Tree Frog

Scinax fuscovarius

The larger snouted tree frog, famous for turning up in lodge bathrooms and showers. It hides yellow and black on its thighs.

At rest it is brown and discreet, but when it jumps it flashes thighs painted yellow and black, a burst that disorients predators. It seeks the humidity of bathrooms, showers and water tanks, where more than one visitor meets it by surprise.

Behaviour

Nocturnal and a climber. It hunts insects near lights and shelters in any damp corner, natural or human.

How and when to see it

Mild nights all year round. If a frog shows up in the lodge bathroom, it is almost certainly this one: enjoy the moment and let it carry on.
