Theloderma stellatum is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam.[2] Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, and plantations. It is threatened by habitat loss.[1] This species deposits eggs in rain water collected in small tree holes; the tadpoles feed on the organic matter aggregated in a tannin-rich rain water. Notches aiming resin collection increase carrying capacity of the frogs providing additional breeding sites.[3]
