Information about the Gliding Treefrog:

The Gliding Frog is a species of frog in Hylidae family. It is found in the subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and intermittent freshwater marshes of Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Panama. The distinctive name comes the the frog’s large toepads that, when extended outwards, can help control the descent of the frog helping it to “glide.” This is especially helpful when the frog needs to avoid being caught by other tree dwelling predators such as snakes. The frog in not considered endangered, but it’s numbers are declining due to habitat loss and climate change.

Artist’s notes:

The Gliding Tree Frog was completed on 7.9.2013. I saw a photo collage of some of the more striking of the species of treefrogs found in Costa Rica. Perhaps I’m a less than impartial judge, but I thought it would be a lot more visually pleasing for the frogs to be illustrations, rather than the boxy photos. So, knowing I’d already completed drawings of some of them, I decided to set about completing another four species to make for the collage. The drawing is based on a photo by Dustin Smith
