Här kommer mitt bidrag för fotosöndags veckotema - grönt
Jag skulle verkligen ha gillat och hoppat på första flyg till regnskogen i Amazon men banken sa nej. Så jag fick klara mig själv genom att ta in "regnskogen". Jag tog ett löv från trädgården och en leksaks groda och la det på en glasskiva och jag använde en blixt som backgrundsbelysning för att få siluetten.
Here comes my contribution to fotosöndag's weekly challenge - green.
I would have liked to hop on the first plane available and fly to the Amazon rain forest to get this shot but alas my bank manager said no. So had to make do with taking the "rain forest" indoors. Took a leaf from the garden and a plastic frog, and placed them a pane of glass and used one flash to back light them, as seen here (Union Jack pillow in photo was not because I was feeling patriotic but to lay on lol).

Strobist info: One Godox AD200 was placed in a small gridded reflector (with green gel added), the flash was then positioned behind the subjects so as to back-light them giving the silhouette. Triggered by wireless remote.

I don't know what I did right, but for some reason, my son seems to genuinely like to accompany me on my bug hunts.
Back in early April of last year, we went out to a very local nature reserve called Gullringskärret. A loose translation of the name to English would be "gold ring marsh".
Anyway, so we're walking along the footbridges there and there really wasn't that much out to shoot (April is still quite cold in Stockholm, Sweden), but suddenly we noticed this guy sitting there in the bleak sunshine on one of the footbridges.
This is a European common frog (Rana temporaria) and looking at the eye with that jet black pupil, I realised that around the pupil is that gold ring the name of the reserve was talking about - which is quite fitting!
My local butterfly house has, on top of all the spectacular butterflies and moths, also some poisondart frogs jumping around - ie not in an aquarium or enclosure, but running (or jumping, I suppose) around freely so you have to watch your step.
I've only seen them a couple of times and every time they have been sort of in indirect light, but this one finally sat out in the open on a rock in a bit of sunlight (through the roof) so I could capture a little more detail on one.
The species has the wonderful name phantasmal poison frog (Epipedobates tricolor) and is native to Equador.
This tiny beauty is endemic to the Bolivar province in Equador and quite endangered. The species is known as the phantasmal poison frog (Epipedobates tricolor) and also as the tricolor dart frog.
My local butterfly house have a small population of these and I have never seen them during any visit until early March of 2022 when my son discovered one climbing on a wooden rail so I managed a couple of shots of it.
Poison-dart frogs (aka poison-arrow frogs) are named so because indigenous people in the Amazon used to manufacture a potent poison for their darts/arrows from them.
This one particular one, a phantasmal poison frog (Epipedobates tricolor) would be pretty useless for this though. The reason for this is that the toxicity comes from the frog's diet of poisonous (or venomous?) invertebrates and since this one was living in the Haga Ocean butterfly house where they don't eat those inverts - they lose the poison.

Cry for help from the pond. The grass frog was being pushed under water by a mating toad. | Hilferuf aus dem Teich. Der Grasfrosch würde von einer paarungswütigen Erdkröte unter Wasser gedrückt.

The Dark Queen is a fictional character in the Battletoads video game series. Dark Queen is a nemesis of the protagonistic Battletoads. She is a mysterious master of evil magic and the supreme commander of a space army bent on galactic conquest. The character has received considerable attention due to her sex appeal as well as for being one of the first major female villains in video games.
P.s. I love Battleatoad game I love also Battletoads & Double Dragon game, I think in my childhood we had much better games, music and movies.
