The Australian Lace-lid (Litoria dayi) is a species of Australian frog that is endemic to a small area of rainforest in northern Queensland (Australia). It is found around rocky streams particularly within the rainforest. What makes this frog different from other species from the rest is its vein like patterns on its lower eyelid, which can only be seen when its eyes are closed.
It can lay up to 100 cream eggs with tough jelly coating surrounding each one. They are laid attached to the undersurface of rocks in the streams of water. The possession of its vein patterned eyelids distinguishes it from of species of frog from the same genus. There eyes are abnormally large and are completely black, there body can come in a variety of browns and pale tan colours, and sometimes have white spots. The females are vastly larger tan the males and can grow up to 60mm, whilst males only grow to 42mm.
