It is one of the frogs that best lives alongside people: the lights of houses and lodges serve as insect feeders, and its adhesive toe discs let it settle on glass and walls. The pointed snout and spotted chest tell it apart from its pale-spotted cousin.
Behaviour
Nocturnal and a climber. By day it hides under bark and leaves; at night it hunts around any light source.
How and when to see it
All year on mild nights. Check the lit windows and walls of your lodging: it is usually there, still as a sticker.
