About<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Arizona treefrog becomes active with the onset of summer rains, forages in grassy areas near water, occasionally climbs trees, and eats insects, spiders, earthworms and other invertebrates. The frog breeds during summer rains, and its eggs are laid in clusters attached to underwater vegetation. The frog’s skin secretions can cause irritation to a person’s nose and eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
