🐸European tree frog

Hyla arborea (Linnaeus, 1758)

La ranita de San Antonio (Hyla arborea) es una pequeña rana arborícola del género Hyla de unos 4,5 a 5 cm de longitud. Su piel debe estar siempre húmeda y se alimenta de insectos. Es el representante por excelencia de los hílidos en Europa, distribuyéndose por Europa central y meridional, y por las zonas colindantes de Asia y África. Dado que la intensidad de su canto depende de la humedad ambiental, se la considera un higrómetro biológico.
