About Dendropsophus reticulatus (Jiménez de la Espada, 1870)
The reticulated tree frog, Dendropsophus reticulatus, is a species of frog belonging to the Hylidae family. Its distribution covers Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia. This species has been recorded at elevations ranging from 40 to 1037 meters above sea level. Adult males of this species measure between 2.0 and 2.9 centimeters in length, while adult females range from 2.8 to 4.0 centimeters long. Males produce advertisement calls to attract females near temporary or permanent bodies of water. D. reticulatus lays eggs year-round on the upper surfaces of leaves, positioned approximately 30 centimeters above the water. Once the tadpoles hatch, they drop down into the water below.
