mamma? by koalagardens

mamma?

This is an adult green tree frog, at least 4 times the size of the young ones I've been photographing. Sleeping the day out in a dark spot the frogs have used for years.
Isn't she wonderful !

I agree with Pam, at first glance I thought it was a rubber toy. She’s gorgeous
August 27th, 2020  
It looks like someone dropped it...
August 27th, 2020

At first glance this didn't look real. Fabulous shot!

Looks squashed, how big is it?? Do they have to avoid koalas???
August 27th, 2020  
Great shot.
August 27th, 2020  
It took me time to see the frog I first saw a macro of a cocoon !
August 27th, 2020  
She’s really curled up.
August 27th, 2020  
She's beautiful.
August 27th, 2020  
Aww, she is fascinating looking.

Great shot love the way it is all tucked in.

It really looks like soft rubber, lovely shot.

Wow- that is a very unusual looking frog! And she does look big- almost alien. Good catch!
August 27th, 2020  
Looks relaxed
August 27th, 2020  
@marlboromaam you certainly may pin 😊
August 27th, 2020  
Very strange looking... cool! So much texture.
August 27th, 2020  
@koalagardens Pinned - thank you! You know, it reminds me of a Star Wars character a bit. You?
August 27th, 2020  
@jacqbb she is around 5 inches long, but you can see how bulky she is. they can eat small mice and microbats, though mostly eat insects :)
August 27th, 2020  
@30pics4jackiesdiamond I truly doubt frogs and koalas would really take any notice of each other 😊
August 27th, 2020  
@marlboromaam if you heard them croaking in the downpipes and how it rings out you could think Jabba was laughing at you. But wow I've always thought of them as beautiful, but this one has rolls and rolls of fat I do admit 🤣
August 27th, 2020  
All members tucked in - is it for warmth or protection?
August 27th, 2020  
Super close up :)
August 27th, 2020  
@vignouse I'm guessing it is both Richard as there are always at least one frog this size in there, often 2 or 3. I had to open this to take the photo, it is actually an insect trap that I don't run. What I removed to open this is a tray that you fill with water (in wet weather it will hold rain water but not a huge amount). Then there is a light above it. It doesn't zap the bugs, just attract them with the idea of as they circle above the light they fall in the water.
Even though I've not run the light in 11 years, the frogs love living in there 😊

Wish I had these adorable creatures down here :) Love it!!
August 27th, 2020  
@koalagardens You read my mind! LOL!
August 27th, 2020
