Raorchestes longchuanensis (Longchuan bubble-nest frog or Longchuan small treefrog) is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in the Gaoligong and Hengduan Mountains in Yunnan, China (including the eponymous Longchuan) and in adjacent northern Vietnam (Lai Châu Province), and possibly in Myanmar.
Raorchestes longchuanensis is a small species; males measure 20 mm (0.79 in) in snout–vent length. It inhabits shrubland in river valleys. It is common but easily overlooked due to its small size. It is potentially threatened by habitat loss.
This frog has been observed between 1350 and 1500 meters above sea level in river valleys. The adult frogs hide behind leaves, but people have seen them in bushes or next to roads. Some frogs will live near human houses. Scientists do not know whether this frog breeds through direct or larval development.
This frog is not classified as in danger of extinction, but humans can disturb its habitat through farming and wood collection. Data related to Raorchestes longchuanensis at Wikispecies Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Longchuan Bubble-Nest Frog sighting in Doi Inthanon National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 17th most-seen of the 17 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Longchuan Bubble-Nest Frog in Doi Inthanon National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June–July, September and November–April, 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 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Longchuan Bubble-Nest Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
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 Longchuan Bubble-Nest Frog sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Longchuan Bubble-Nest Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Doi Inthanon National Park (5 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.
