This is the first time that live tree frogs have been intercepted in China.
Eight living tree frogs intercepted this time were identified as three species: red-eyed tree frog (albino) (Agalychniscallidryas), tiger-legged monkey tree frog (Phyllomedusahypochondrialis) and white-bellied Reed frog (Heterixalusalboguttatus).
When the national inspection personnel of the Postal Exhibition Office used the "one machine, two screens" mode to inspect jointly with the Customs, they found that the image of a parcel was suspicious. The face sheet showed that the parcel was sent from the United States to Beijing and declared as "coffee and tea." through open-box inspection, it was found that there were three plastic boxes containing living frogs, aquatic plants and other plant bedding materials.
The state inspection personnel immediately intercepted the parcel and sent a "notice of interception of inspection and quarantine of incoming parcels" to the recipient, and immediately sent the intercepted live tree frog to the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences for professional species identification.

Among them, red-eyed tree frogs are mainly distributed in the tropical rain forests of Central America, ranging from Mexico to Colombia, while tiger-legged monkey tree frogs include Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Paraguay, Bolivia and other countries. White-bellied Reed frogs are mainly distributed in the southeast of Madagascar below 800m above sea level.
