The Coqui

These coqui frogs are non-poisonous and are small, about the size of a quarter.They climb up trees at night to sing coquitheir mating song, and later parachute coqui down from the trees using their webbed feet. They are also interesting biologically in that they are born as tiny frogs, instead of as tadpoles. They are an important part of a tropical environment since they control insect populations.  They eat insect pests such as mosquitoes, leaf hoppers, tree borers, centipedes, termites, and virtually anything smaller than themselves, including other frogs. Their consumption of insect pests makes them a benefit to the environment, agriculture and human health.
