Raorchestes gryllus, the Langbian bubble-nest frog or Langbian frilled tree frog is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in Laos and Vietnam. [2] [3] It has been observed between 880 and 2027 meters above sea level. [1]

This frog lives in montaine forests. It lays eggs in moist areas under logs and on tree roots. The frog breeds by direct development with no free-swimming tadpole stage. [1]

Scientists classify this frog as vulnerable to extinction because its range is still subject to considerable degradation. That range includes some protected parks: Bidoup-Nui Ba National Park, Phuoc Binh National Park, and Ta Dung Nature Reserve. [1] Its natural habitat is shrubby vegetation. [1]
