Litoria genimaculata
Green-eyed Treefrog
Brown-spotted Treefrog, New Guinea Treefrog




After over a week in Australia, I finally saw my first native frogs (I had seen a dozen or two cane toads earlier). The first two pictures show a pair of individuals each about a inch and a half long. The next two pictures show a much larger individual, about three inches long. I initially assumed they were different species, but eventually concluded that the smaller ones were male L. genimaculata, and the larger one a female.
Here is a complete list of the reptiles and frogs I saw on this trip to Australia.




The next night I went out a-frogging again and found several more of the smaller-sized males. These frogs have outstanding camouflage when perched in the leaf litter or on decaying bark. They stand out rather starkly on green rainforest leaves though.
