Polypedates leucomystax is a species in the shrub frog family Rhacophoridae. It is known under numerous common names, including common tree frog, four-lined tree frog, golden tree frog or striped tree frog. Many past authors have united it with the common Indian tree frog in P. maculatus (or Rhacophorus maculatus, as was common in older times), but today they are generally considered distinct species. In its native range, it is also called "white-lipped tree frog", but this name is otherwise applied to a species of true tree frogs (family Hylidae).
Polypedates leucomystax is not considered a threatened species by the IUCN. It is, in fact a species complex containing various cryptic species within it. Previously, P. leucomystex was thought to distribute below the Red River of Vietnam and in western Yunnan, while P. megacephalus can be found above the Red River and in Northeast India. However, recent genetic studies revealed that the natural barriers between these species are the Isthmus of Kra and the Tenasserim Range, where P. leucomystax can be found below the isthmus and west of the range.
The Polypedates leucomystax complex began diverging during the Pliocene, and spread... Wikipedia →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Common Tree Frog sighting in Naha on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Common Tree Frog in Naha on a given day, against under 5% in February, April, October and December, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Common Tree Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
13th of 15
Of the 15 cities where we can rate Common Tree Frog sightings, Naha ranks 13th at about 30%. The best odds are in Yogyakarta (Indonesia, about 80%), Jakarta (Indonesia, about 70%) and Tasikmalaya (Indonesia, about 60%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Tree Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Naha (11 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
