I
caught flying
small
reptiles (lizards and chameleons) when I was kid. I curious whether
they are the same as
normal or other harmless reptiles.
I
never saw flying frogs in nature, I just know from reading that it is
because they are mainly living in the trees, especially in the jungle
or dense South East Asian rain forest. No chance to approach them
We
have understood that about 3,400 kinds of frogs in the nature, of
these, 3 genus are flying amphibians:
-
Rhacophorus
-
Ecnomiophyla
-
Polupedates
Two
photos of this post are green flying frog from Malaysia (Malay
peninsula) and Indonesia (Sumatra, Borneo and western part islands).

the green frog lives in the trees (middle canopy), and able to fly

Actually,
we have found more than 40 species of genus Rhacophorus.
