The Family Hyperoliidae consists of small to medium-sized tree frogs, commonly known as reed frogs or sedge frogs, primarily found in sub-Saharan Africa. These amphibians are arboreal, often inhabiting reeds, shrubs, and other vegetation near water bodies. Hyperoliids are known for their brightly colored skin, which can include striking patterns and vivid hues, and many species exhibit sexual dimorphism, with males often smaller and more brightly colored than females. They are mostly nocturnal and feed on insects and other small invertebrates. Reproduction usually involves laying eggs on leaves overhanging water, allowing hatched tadpoles to drop into aquatic habitats. Hyperoliidae play important ecological roles as both predators of insects and prey for larger animals, contributing to the balance of freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems.
