Zhangixalus feae is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in southwestern Yunnan (China), northern Laos, northern and central highlands of Vietnam, northern Thailand, and Myanmar. The specific name feae honors Leonardo Fea, an Italian explorer, zoologist, and naturalist.
Its natural habitats are closed-canopy evergreen rainforests, but it can adapt to human presence. It has been observed between 600 and 1400 meters above sea level. The frog's range includes protected parks: Hoang Lien National Park, Ngoc Linh Nature Reserve, and Phou Dendin National Biodiversity Conservation Area. This frog is threatened by habitat loss associated with road and infrastructure construction and tourism. People occasionally collect this frog to eat or to keep and breed for the pet trade, but it is unclear if this still poses a threat. Zoos sometimes display this frog because of its striking coloration.
Individuals of Zhangixalus feae are capable of gliding by spreading the webbing between their fingers and toes. They eat small invertebrates, including insects, spiders, and millipedes. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Fea's Flying Tree Frog sighting in Doi Inthanon National Park on a given day, based on 22 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 6th most-seen of the 17 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, 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 Fea's Flying Tree Frog in Doi Inthanon National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January and April–May, the lowest months. That is one of Doi Inthanon National Park's wettest months, with about 340 mm of rain against 20 mm in February.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Fea's Flying Tree Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Doi Inthanon National Park, in our data
Doi Inthanon National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Fea's Flying Tree Frog sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Rhacophoridae
The closest relatives of the Fea's Flying Tree Frog that you can see in Doi Inthanon National Park (family Rhacophoridae, Old World Tree Frogs) are Karin Bubble-nest Frog (about 20%), Spot-legged Tree Frog (about 10%) and Longchuan Bubble-Nest Frog (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Fea's Flying Tree Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Doi Inthanon National Park (22 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.
