'Litoria fallax' and friends

[hotspur]

Well,its raining again,so cannot get to work or outside.

So found these frog images I have been meaning to PP for some time.

The first two is a 'metal eyed frog'

the next two a 'northen bango frog'

The next for 'dwarf green tee frog' (Litoria fallax)

All from in our garden.

Hope these are of interest thanks for looking.

Very nice shots it must sound great after a rain :thumbsup:

They're very nice Chris. Which is the one in flower? That's quite unusual.

Thanks Warren and Rowland.

The last four images are of the dwarf green tree frog (Litoria fallax),its has another common name-eastern sedge frog-they are very small about 25 mm to 30mm and good at changing there colour-yes Rowland it certainly looks unusual in the pink rose!,I've never seen that before.The other two images are what they more regularly look like.

The first two images are of a eastern metal eyed frog (Neobatrachus sudelli)
grows to about 45mm to 50 mm.

The third and forth images are of the northern Bango frog also know as the scarlet-sided pobblebonk (Limnodynastes terraeregine)
grows to about 75mm to 80 mm,(the one picture is a female.)

Certainly many varieties of frogs out at the moment,I'll post some more,if there is any interest in these.

Cheers Chris.

Any comments and critique welcomed,It appears by the lack of comments frogs are not a popular macro subject,or did I do something wrong with PP?

Will find some insects and spiders for macro subjects next outing.

Cheers Chris

Very nice shots Chris. Frogs are fascinating. The Pobblebonk is one of my favourite frogs. Dont get to see them all that often unfortunately.

I'd check the ID of frog 5/6. I'm fairly confident its not Litoria fallax. Possibly Litoria gracilienta (most likely as it looks to have a pale yellow line from the nose to above the eye and tympanum) or possibly Litoria chloris. Hard to tell at times without having them in hand and to listen to.

[hotspur]

Good point Paul,will try and check that out.It was the same size as L fallax,25 mm to 30 mm,I thought the species you mention may be slightly larger,

But that yellow line could be a good clue,the eye profile does seem a little different,Either way he looks very 'gay' in the pink flower!

Cheers Chris

Nice captures Chris, I love Litoria Fallax, they are such beautiful frogs and can be found on something as small as a blade of grass. We often get them once a year on our aloe vera plant, which is great for shots having the spikey aloe vera leaves against the soft, delicately small frogs. Thanks for sharing :)

Here is one from our backyard I have no idea what variety I just like them I am not intimate with them:P:rofl:

It looks like Litoria tyleri Warren. Tylers Tree Frog. Also known as the Laughing Tree frog. It can be identified by the yellow and brown mottling in the groin and thigh.
