Description
The eastern dwarf tree frog (Drymomantis fallax), also known as the eastern sedge frog, is a species of tree frog native to Australia. It is a small and very common frog found on the eastern coast of Australia, from approximately Cairns, Queensland to Ulladulla, New South Wales. Individual frogs of this species are often found elsewhere, having been accidentally relocated by transported fruit or horticultural products. Two naturalised populations are known outside of its native range: a population successfully established on Guam around 1968, and breeding populations have established in multiple suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria.
