Rhacophorus prasinatus (common names: tributary flying frog, green treefrog, emerald green treefrog) is a species of frog in the Rhacophoridae family endemic to northern Taiwan.[2] It is the largest tree frog in Taiwan; females can reach 7 cm (2.8 in) in snout-vent length.[3]
Its habitats are orchards, tea plantations, bamboo forests, shrublands and forests in hilly areas. Breeding takes place in tree holes, but also in cisterns, buckets or water tanks. It is threatened by habitat loss and degradation.[1]
