The farmland green tree frog (Zhangixalus arvalis) is a frog. It lives in Taiwan.[2][3][1]

These frogs live on and near farms, in bamboo forests, in fruit tree farms, sugar cane farms, and scrubby places. People have seen this frog 50 meters above sea level.[1]

This frog lays eggs in rain water. The female frog lays about 200 eggs at a time. The tadpoles become frogs about 40 days after they hatch.[1]

Scientists say this frog is in danger of dying out because human beings change the places where it lives to make towns and because of bad chemicals from farms.[1]
