Chiromantis simus is a tree frog that lives on trees in the humid forests of northeastern India. It builds special foam nests to protect its eggs.
Chiromantis simus differs from related species by its special way of creating foam nests that protect the eggs from drying out and from enemies. It is important for the forest ecosystem because it eats insects and serves as food for birds and snakes.
