The critically endangered Lemur Leaf Frog, another member of the genus Agalychnis that I had yet to see, can prove to be relatively abundant in the right areas. A variety of issues have affected their wellbeing over time, largely linked to habitat loss exacerbated by the spread of chytrid, a combination that has seemingly devastated many populations in recent years. Fortunately the area we were in allowed for some good sightings of this species, including multiple in amplexus.
