I live in North America, specifically the state of Georgia. Today I was outside hosing down my house and saw a frog on my porch. After a little research I matched it up with the picture and description of a Japanese Tree Frog.
Everything I've been able to read says that it is more common to Japan than to North America. So does anyone know if it is an unusual occurence to see one of these frogs, especially on your porch?
I should probably mention there are not a lot of trees in our neighborhood, and I don't live on a body of water. The closest water is at least 1000 meters away and the closest clump of trees are at least 800 meters away.
Thank you!

Please clarify the name of the species. It is Japanese in the title, but Korean in the body. Is it better to use "Far Eastern" which is more neutral one? -- GenuineMongol ( talk) 04:30, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
I added a Description, Habitat and Destruction, Conservation, Diet, Mating, Enemies, Behavior, Physiology, and Human Use sections. I added over 1500 words and included 21 references. I added these sections under the ip address 128.252.11.235. ShawnMohammed ( talk) 16:42, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Overall:
Several sentences at the end of paragraphs remain uncited, for example
"H. japonica has a dark vocal sac."
and "This is due to the necessity of the frog life cycle for both water and land."
I could find no other issues; so if those were solved @
ShawnMohammed, I can pass the nom. –

ShawnMohammed ( talk)@LordPeterII I added the citations to each of the sentences that you indicated were uncited. I hope this helps! Please let me know if there is anything else I need to do for the DYK nomination.

11/15/22 This article was really strong! I added several hyperlinks to enhance the reading experience- some examples of tiers or words I highlighted were Japan, China, Korea, IUCN, Russia, Mongolia, Ranavirus, lek, spanning animal/ecology terms and more broad geographies. I rephrased a few sentences to make sure that the most important information was upfront, added synonyms to some words to reduce repetitive-ness, deleted extra words to be more clear and concise, and tried to make sure each sentence was well cited (it was!). I also changed the order of the page as well, putting conservation lower down, and behavior higher up as per Wikipedia article best practices. I added a section on ranavirus under conservations since that is an important upcoming problem for these frogs and their tadpoles. Great job!

{{ It is mentioned that this species of tree frog are native to Japan, China, and Korea, thus I am just a little curious why is it then called a Japanese tree frog. Is that because it was first discovered or studied in Japan? Maybe it is better to indicate that in the introduction. It is very interesting how they would adapt microgravatitioanl environment and resume after coming back. I also expect some other general behaviors that .his frog would express on Earth. Not sure what exactly the ability to adapt to micro-gravity means. Does it simply mean these frogs have a high level of survivability? I would make the Predator defense a subsection of physiology because it is a type of toxin it secretes to protect itself. And I think it’s better to include more details about how the toxic peptide work and what specifically the peptide is called. What ion channels are affected? Otherwise, this will be too general and does not produce too much useful information as it is supposed to. I rearranged the subsections. Darreciel ( talk) 06:42, 17 November 2022 (UTC)}}
Great work on this frog entry! I found the discussion on frog mating to be really insightful after reading. I went ahead and revised your discussion on toxic peptide secretion by introducing specific context on the Anntoxin neurotoxin and its biological properties with additional sources. I also added hyperlinks and removed redundant information to make the text more concise. One suggestion I have for your discussion on the frog's habitat is maybe elaborating if there are specific states or regions within East Asian countries that frogs reside in?
