Fejervarya limnocharis - field frog

I have always been a little disappointed not to find any of those little slimy poison dart type frogs, rather than these lunkers that I normally find. Having said that, They are still amazing and I love watching them do the leap of faith when I get too close.

This one is different to the normal frogs that I find at the stream, which are all tree frogs with the suckers on their toes. Take a closer look and you will see the difference. I found this on the driveway, lifting its feet in an attempt to avoid the baking surface temperature.

Location is Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. Ciranjang village, Driveway.

It seems like most of the really colorful little frogs are from Central and South America? The rest of us mostly only get to see the more normal green and brown kinds in the wild. Posted 9 years ago

  I am sure that there are some here, but I need to do some night time safaris.
