An handsome variable bush frog! Met this beautiful male variable bush frog during recent visit to the western ghats while looking for the croaking friends <br /> There were many in number all calling out loud to attract mate. Slight drizzle would amplify the calls.<br /> It was an orchestra where variable bush frogs were the main, with sudden chorus of Malabar tree toads(Pedostibes tuberculosus) and with the water droplet frog(Raorchestes nerostagona) droplet-beat all the while.<br /> Raorchestes akroparallagi,amphibian,bush frog,coffee,coorg,endemic,incredibleindia,india,karnataka,macro,monsoon,rains,wild Click/tap to enlarge

    Another beauty! Interesting how they seem to have quite different patterns and colors amidst each other:
