The lesser Bromeliad tree frog, (Sarcohyla arborescandens) is a frog that lives in Mexico. Scientists have seen it between 1800 and 3100 meters above sea level.[3][1]

This frog lays eggs in streams, and scientists have seen it in some streams in places that people have changed, such as streams where the trees have been cut down.[2]

Scientists believe human beings in Veracruz may catch this frog to eat.[2]
