The Family Rhacophoridae consists of tree frogs commonly known as "shrub frogs" or "bush frogs", found mainly in Asia and Africa. These frogs are arboreal, with adaptations such as expanded toe pads for climbing and, in some species, webbed fingers and toes that allow gliding or parachuting between trees. They are generally small to medium-sized, and many species exhibit foam-nesting behavior, laying eggs in foam nests above water to protect developing embryos. Rhacophoridae play important ecological roles as insect predators, helping control insect populations in forest ecosystems.
