Leptomantis harrissoni
—
Harrisson’s Flying Frog
Also known as:
Brown Tree Frog
This species was included in Rhacophorus until 2019.
The Frogs of Borneo website describes Leptomantis harrissoni as "a brown, rather unspectacular frog". Rude!
That same site adds "Little is known about this frog, probably because it spends most of its life high up in the trees". We were lucky to see two of them. Thanks to Borneo frog expert Alexander Haas for helping me identify these frogs.
