Hyla Arborea (the common or European tree frog) is a small
green frog found in marshy areas in the green forests of
Europe.

Hyla is an excellent climber of trees and bushes. It has toes
with suction pads that allow it to climb even on smooth surfaces.
It feeds on insects and spiders, and spends the winter months
hibernating in the mud or hidden beneath roots and moss. It catches
most of its prey during the night or at sunset. The male allures
the female with an enormous vocal sac and loud calls. When
breeding, series of 30-40 eggs are laid on leaves several times
over. Tadpoles soon develop, hiding in wet vegetation near water
within a period of a few weeks.
HYLA are an excellent indicator of their surrounding environment as
they breathe through their skin. Therefore, they require high
quality air and water in order to survive. We feel HYLA is a
perfect name for our systems.
