Fantastic! I have hardly ever seen a frog in daylight in the jungle here so finding them at night AND getting such a great pic is a real achievement.
Were they noisy so that you spotted them? Posted 9 years ago

  Thank you. No, they did not make any sound at all, although the jungle overall at this hour is very noisy. They just happened to be at the very start of the trail of our night tour, so this one was hard to miss. Posted 9 years ago
