The palmar tree frog or palm tree frog (Boana pellucens) is a frog that lives in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Scientists have seen it between 20 and 1400 meters above sea level.^[3]^[1]

The adult male frog is 35.6 to 52.8 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 45.0 to 60.3 mm long. This frog is green in color with blue, red or brown marks. This frog lives in open spaces or near bodies of water.^[1]

The male frogs form a chorus near the edge of the forest and sing for the females starting around 6:00 p.m.^[1]

The frog's Latin name pellucens is from a word that means see-through.^[1]
