In the Central Amazonia, treefrogs of the genus Phyllomedusa lay their eggs in gelatinous masses on leaves and branches over water. 59% of C. tomopterna clutches are often attacked by predators such as phorid flies (being the majorly responsible for clutch loss), and other unidentified predators. The reason for these clutch predations is mostly due to Anuran eggs being a high-protein energy source for many predators such as insects. They are especially notorious for larvae.
