A frog emerges between lily pads looking for an insect meal while trying not be a meal for some water birds and large, predatory, freshwater fish.
comments would be very much appreciated When you comment my shots, please also favorite it also, that would help me a lot. Thanks!
This is a frog in a pond on the grounds of the animal shelter where I volunteer. This frog is not up for adoption.
Did my first attempt at macro today
this lovely frog is one of them that I will show you today with other varieties, also saw and photographed a gargoyle Gecko!
and finished with Harvest mice...so tiny...
Do hope that he meets with your approval

I spotted the frog earlier being molested by a bunch of brown frogs. I do not know if this colour is normal or if there is something wrong, but when I saw it poking its nose out of the water it looked quite happy. But almost instantly another mob of brown frogs descended on it. I hope to see it all well tomorrow again. Fingers crossed!
this little frog resides in my pond and comes out to talk to me occasionally! I haven't kissed him yet....
have a great Friday and thanks for you visits!!

Wallace's Flying Frog (Rhacophorus nigropalmatus) - Danum Valley, Malaysia
This large tree frog is found in Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia, Southern Thailand and Borneo and is perhaps the best known of all the flying frogs. This iconic frog was another of my main goals to see in Borneo. It proved considerably tougher than the file-eared tree frog, the key to finding this species is finding a good breeding site. I had found a mammal wallow that I thought looked good and gone there repeatedly looking for these without any luck, right as I was starting to think I was wasting my time someone told me that the specific wallow I was visiting was infact a good place to see this species. I began visiting the site with renewed vigor and one rainy night I was able to find several of these sitting around the wallow at various heights with the highest perched maybe 5 meters up and the lowest just 2 meters or so above ground. Despite my many nocturnal wanderings and many visits to other wallows and strolls through the jungle I didn't find any other frogs in different locations. However the wallow in question kept producing fairly reliably for the rest of my time at Danum.
If you look closely you can see some of the flaps of skin that are adaptions for gliding and parachuting, these and the membranes inbetween the frogs digits allow it to "fly" which of course isn't true flight like a bird or a bat but more of a glide.
Looks like this is my 1000th photo, whoa that's alot of photos! By my count looks like there are about 400 species pictured in my photostream and photos from 11 different countries, I promise more to come in the future!
It is raining SO much, a frog has just hopped across our lawn. We don't have a pond, nor do any of our neighbours. Wonder where he came from.
Tree frogs are usually tiny, as their weight has to be carried by the branches and twigs in their habitat. While some reach 10 cm (4 in) or more, they are typically smaller and more slender than terrestrial frogs. Typical for "tree frogs" are the well-developed discs at the finger and toe tips; the fingers and toes themselves as well as the limbs tend to be rather long, resulting in a superior grasping ability.
