Theloderma albopunctatum, the dotted bubble-nest frog, warty tree frog, rough-skinned small tree frog, cobalt-gray warted frog, rough-skinned whistling tree frog, rough-skinned small tree frog, rough paddle-leg frog, white-banded small tree frog, white-patterned small tree frog, white-spotted bug-eyed frog, or pied warted tree frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to China. Scientists believe it may also live in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. There are similar frogs in India, Myanmar, and Thailand, but scientists suspect these are a complex of related species.
This frog lives in montane and submontane moist forests, where it has been observed on the ground and on low vegetation. This frog has been observed between 300 and 1350 meters above sea level. This frog breeds through larval development in pools of water.
The IUCN classifies this species as least concern of extinction because of its large range and presume large population. What little disturbance it faces comes from habitat loss, largely in favor of agriculture, and forest tourism.
The frog's range includes several protected parks, for example Dayaoshan National Nature Reserve. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Dotted Bubble-nest Frog sighting in Cuc Phuong National Park on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 5th most-seen of the 8 amphibians we can rate there. 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 60% of wildlife watchers report a Dotted Bubble-nest Frog in Cuc Phuong National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April and May, the lowest months. That is one of Cuc Phuong National Park's wettest months, with about 390 mm of rain against 40 mm in December.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Dotted Bubble-nest 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.
Only Cuc Phuong National Park, in our data
Cuc Phuong National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Dotted Bubble-nest Frog sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dotted Bubble-nest Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Cuc Phuong National Park (8 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
