A Copper-cheeked Frog (Hylarana labialis) spotted at Lower Peirce Reservoir, Singapore on 5 Oct 2025. It was quietly sitting on this mossy rock so it was a lucky sighting.

Vietnamese Mossy Frog:
Theloderma corticale.
That's not moss, it's the frog. Tubercled green-and-black skin mimics the texture of lichen so well that predators — and most zoo visitors — walk right past it.

Some Four-Lined Tree Frogs (Polypedates leucomystax) spotted in the toilet at Thomson Nature Park, Singapore on 21 June 2026. It's dark and cool inside, so not surprising they like it. :-)

A Copper-cheeked Frog (Hylarana labialis) spotted at Thomson Nature Park, Singapore on 1 May 2026. It was quietly sitting on this leaf. If you look closely, you can see some mosquitoes feeding from it.

Drama in real life: a Painted Bronzeback (Dendrelaphis pictus) caught this Guenther's Frog (Sylvirana guentheri) by the nose and was attempting to lift it up into the trees to feed. But luck was on the frog's side: it managed to slip out and hopped away. Spotted at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore on 16 Nov 2025.

"Rampant tooth loss across 200 million years of frog evolution", Paluh et al. 2021 https://elifesciences.org/articles/66926
... competing with wing loss in flies (flightlessness), at 25 events counted to date. Can't find an up to date citation; a neat phylogenetic tree of #Diptera marking all the apomorphic events was shown to me by Darren Williams. There's Wagner & Liebherr 1992 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/016953479290047F listing 22 insect orders with flightless species: almost all of them have species with secondary wing loss.

Anura. One of the characters in my card game (Girls with Icky Things (check the link in my bio)). Painted couple of weeks ago. I experimented with low-contrast rendering on this one.
Also included the timelapse.

I saw this toad guy on the Credit Valley Trail , hanging out in the rocky creek bed puddles where it's wet and cool. 📷

Instead of croaking, the spines on male frogs’ throats might help their female counterparts recognize potential mates via touch.
