Guibemantis pulcher
—
Tsarafidy Madagascar Frog
Also known as:
Malagasy Glass Frog
This is one of a group of about five closely related frog species that all live almost entirely among the spiky fronds of plants in the genus Pandanus. Of the species we saw, this was clearly the most beautiful. (The other species we saw were G. bicalcaratus and G. albolineatus.)
Here is a list of all the reptiles and frogs I saw on this 2007 trip to Madagascar.
This is obviously one of the Pandanus-dwelling Guibemantis species. I'm not really sure that it's Guibemantis pulcher, which is typically green, but that seems to be the best match as far as I can tell.
