Upland rainforest streams and monsoon closed forest. Frogs have been spotted sheltering in the buttress roots of trees and upon rocks in or adjacent to a rainforest stream. Breeding takes place in September. Males call from leaves over water. Approximately 29 � 60 lime green eggs are laid out of water. The eggs have been found on tree trunks, upon rocks, under leaves and in or on dead palm fronds near gently flowing or static water.

Long-snouted frog

provided by wikipedia EN

The long-snouted frog (Litoria longirostris) is a species of frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae. It is endemic to Australia. The frog is also known as the long-nosed tree frog,[2] scrub rocket frog,[1] and sharp-snouted frog.[3]

Habitat

Its natural habitats in Australia are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, intermittent rivers, and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss.[3]

Reproduction

Unlike most Litoria, the long-snouted frog attaches its eggs to tree trunks, rocks, or under leaves out of water.[4]
