Glass
frogs occupy natural habitats of water forests, Amazon Jungle and tropical forests like Tumbes-Chocó as well as semi-evergreen plants. These frogs are found along streams in overhanging branches. Glass frogs eat a wide variety of tiny arthropoda along the streams. They have excellent eyesight and are very good predators.
A female glass frog lays a clutch size of 20 to 30 eggs in overhanging leaves. The eggs are hatched after about 1 to 2 weeks. The tadpoles are developed (metamorphosed) into froglets after about 10 months.
