Spotted Madagascar Reed Frog I had high hopes thatthis one would be a new species for JungleDragon and so was a bit disappointed to find that there was already a photo of one. However, when I saw who had contributed the initial photo - none other than JD's master herpetologist, John Sullivan, I felt honored to have my photo with his for this species. I took this photo on a night jungle walk - these are always good for creature surprises. Andasibe NP,Heterixalus punctatus,Madagascar,Spotted Madagascar Reed Frog Click/tap to enlarge
