Amphibia Pelodytes punctatus, commonly known as the Parsley Frog, is a small amphibian found in the Comunidad Valenciana and other parts of the Iberian Peninsula. This species is noted for its smooth, greenish skin adorned with small, dark spots, which help in blending with its natural surroundings.

The Parsley Frog thrives in a variety of habitats, including wetlands, grasslands, and forests, often near water bodies such as streams and ponds. During the breeding season, typically occurring in spring, these frogs can be found in larger numbers around shallow waters.

• Appearance: Typically green or brown with dark blotches, and it has a slender build. Its skin texture is smooth, contributing to its ability to camouflage.
• Size: Adult Parsley Frogs measure between 3 to 5 centimeters in length.
• Diet: They primarily feed on small insects and invertebrates.
• Reproduction: Breeding involves laying eggs in aquatic environments, where the larvae develop.
• Conservation Status: While not currently listed as endangered, habitat destruction and pollution pose risks to their populations.

This species plays a vital role in its ecosystem, contributing to the control of insect populations and serving as prey for larger animals. Conservation efforts are essential to ensure the continued presence of the Parsley Frog in the natural landscape of the Comunidad Valenciana.
