The Langbian bubble-nest frog or Langbian frilled tree frog (Raorchestes gryllus) is a frog. It lives in Vietnam and Laos.[2][3] People have seen it between 880 and 2027 meters above sea level.[1]

This frog lives in forests on mountains. The frog lays eggs under logs and on tree roots. The frog hatches out of its egg as a small frog and never swims as a tadpole.[1]

Scientists think this frog is at some risk of dying out because the places where it lives are changing. Some of the places this frog lives are protected parks: Bidoup-Nui Ba National Park, Phuoc Binh National Park, and Ta Dung Nature Reserve.[1]
