Hyperolius rubrovermiculatus is a reed frog in the family Hyperoliidae (order Anura), recorded as Endangered.
The reed frog
Males are usually 24–30 mm (0.94–1.18 in) and females 28–32 mm (1.1–1.3 in).
Range and habitat
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, moist savanna, swamps, intermittent freshwater marshes, rural gardens, and heavily degraded former forest. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Pins are Wikidata “endemic to” fields. Orange dots, when present, are GBIF occurrence tiles — survey bias included.
Breeding
Calling males and egg sites define most frog field work. A species known from one ridge is as narrow as it sounds.
Eggs and damp skin make amphibians quick to vanish from a drained wetland or a forest stripped of litter.
In crisis
Chytrid fungus, collection, and wet-forest loss are the usual pressures on frogs with a high threat category.
