Why Did the Frogs That Used to Climb Trees in the Countryside Disappear?

The tree frog, also known as a tree frog, is called 'officer tree' by rural people. It is a completely different species from frogs. Tree frogs and frogs can both 'amphibious' and travel through water, but tree frogs can only live in trees or in damp grasses. However, they share one similarity with frogs: they all survive by eating small insects.

Tree frogs like 'quietness' and don't like to live in groups; generally, you'll only see one when you spot them. Unlike frogs, when it comes to their reproduction, frogs like to live in groups, frogs lay their eggs in water and fields, and the number is also much larger, even if many birds and fish swallow the eggs, frogs still have a larger number than tree frogs.

Tree frogs, on the other hand, don't lay as many eggs as frogs, and they also like to lay their eggs on leaves near the pond, and they wrap them with their secretions when the eggs start to hatch. When the tadpoles begin to hatch, some fall into the pond to begin their lives, while others dry up on the leaves due to high temperature before they hatch.

Old people often say that tree frogs are like 'Buddha's chickens,' and they also say that tree frogs are poisonous and cannot be caught. When I was a child, I listened to the old people's words and saw the tree frogs with their bodies green and sticky, I was even more afraid to catch them.

I still saw the tree frog a few years ago in my bamboo forest, it was about 2 or 3 pounds, it crawled on the bamboo, not moving much. At that time, my child wanted to use a stick to poke it, I also told him about the old people's words 'is Buddha's chicken,' and it is poisonous, which scared him to drop the stick.

Now, a large amount of pesticides and fertilizers are used in rural fields, and trees are constantly being cut down, making it more difficult for many species to find habitats. For tree frogs, it is even more difficult to thrive.

I am Xiao Zhao, by the way, do you have anyone here who has seen tree frogs?
