Wallace's Flying Frog (Rhacophorus nigropalmatus) was named for the 19th-century British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace, who first described the species in 1869. It is a small frog of about 4 inches (10 cm)with distinctly large eyes. Rhacophorus nigropalmatus is an arboreal amphibian with specialized toepads that allow them to adhere to vertical surfaces. In addition to toepads flying frogs have huge, fully webbed hands and feet, also skin along the side of the body. These provide an increase in surface area so that when the limbs, fingers and toes are extended apart they allow the frogs to glide from high perches.

The magnet measures 2.5” x 3.5” (6.35 x 8.89cm) with a metal shell, mylar/UV protecting cover and flat magnetic back. The artwork is a reproduction of an original line art drawing by wildlife illustrator Roger Hall.
