Description
Native to Puerto Rico, the common coquí has been accidentally introduced to Florida, Hawaii, New Zealand, the Galapagos Islands, and a few Caribbean islands. Due to its loud, high-pitched, "ko-kee” call that males produce at night, the common coquí is considered a pest in many regions. Without natural predators in non-native areas, the common coquí has a negative impact on biodiversity.
