The Mindanao flying frog, blue-legged tree frog, banded pigmy tree frog, Asiatic tree frog, or blue-spotted tree frog (Leptomantis bimaculatus) is a frog. It lives in the Philippines, in Luzon, Bohol, and Mindanao.[2][3] People have seen it between 500 and 600 meters above sea level.[1]

This frog lives in trees near water. It lives in forests that human beings have not changed. This frog lays eggs in foam nests on plants over water.[1]

Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in such a large place.[1]
