Today the objective was to bag a couple of Chubby Frogs, these frogs have many nick names but I think chubby seems about right. It rained a little today and we knew it would be easier to catch them as they normally come out when the ground is nice and moist. My frog hunting buddies, Philip, Megan and Michael had caught a couple of Asian Toads and a couple of Chubby Frogs by the time I got there so I did not have to do any hunting. We also dragged Russel into our quest once again and Sherwin peddled by to take some pictures as well. I am not as pleased with my chubby frog shots as i am with my asian toads but thats my fault not the frogs. The Chubby Frogs really are a nice colour. As you can see it had puffed itself up to scare me away. All frogs released in the same location they are caught in.
Another very typical example of the Asian Toad (caught by Michael). This time with the more yellow colouration
We have become much more careful in our hunts, there seems to be an increase of snakes in the area and we came across a dead baby cobra. It was probably killed by the guys who cut the grass a few days ago. This would be the 3rd snake seen in the area in as many weeks.
As chance would have it we stumbled onto the nocturnal activities of a couple of moths. I wish i knew the species but alas i am no mothman (cue laughter)
