Tree Frogs in Hawaii: Species Guide & Merchandise
Learn about the tree frog species found in Hawaii and find unique tree frog merchandise, including t-shirts and apparel for frog lovers.
The Short Answer: Hawaii is home to several tree frog species, including the invasive coqui frog and the native Pacific tree frog. While the coqui is known for its loud call, the Pacific tree frog is smaller and quieter. For frog fans, Easy Street Markets offers a range of tree frog-themed t-shirts and gifts that make perfect souvenirs.
What tree frog species are found in Hawaii?
Hawaii has two main tree frog species: the coqui frog (Eleutherodactylus coqui) and the Pacific tree frog (Pseudacris regilla). The coqui is an invasive species from Puerto Rico, known for its distinct two-note call that can reach 90 decibels. The Pacific tree frog is native to the western US and was introduced to Hawaii; it is smaller and has a quieter, chirping call. Both are nocturnal and thrive in Hawaii's humid forests.
