Biology
Leptomantis harrissoni spends most of its life high up in the forest. Males call for breeding in water-containing holes located in the trunks of trees.[2] Eggs are laid in a foam nest attached to the bark above said tree holes.[3]
These frogs use the skin membranes between their fingers as a kind of parachute to make real flights among the branches of trees of the forest (hence the common name of the species).
