Peron's Tree frog from under the lid of my garbage bin

[ljsbugblog]

thought I would share some of the incredible amphibian diversity we see in our garden. all of these creatures are from the same genus of treefrogs, Litoria (excepting Green Tree frogs, which are also often described as genus Ranoidea).

a Broad-palmed Rocket Frog (Litoria latopalmata), who we have spotted in the bog cave the past few nights! this species has proven to be highly variable in colour and patterning, so always interesting to encounter.

the pebble-shaped Desert Tree Frog (Litoria rubella), who hunt insects on my car in multitudes.

one of my favourites, the Peron's Laughing Tree Frog (Litoria peronii). at a distance they appear a uniform beige, but a closer look reveals flecks of emerald green across textured skin. this species tends to be a bit larger than the other frogs, but is still dwarfed by the Green Tree Frog.

a Slender Bleating Tree Frog (Litoria balatus), who I have posted before. one of the smallest of the frogs we see, but nonetheless intriguing with their yellow toes, and vibrant red eye.

last, and largest, is the conspicuous Green Tree Frog (Litoria/Ranoidea caerulea), a species found across much of the continent, and frequently found around human dwellings.

that's 5 species of tree frog all found within our relatively small garden, which is pretty amazing. we've also recently encountered a pair of Striped Marsh Frogs (Lymnodynastes sp.) around the pond (hopefully I can get a good photo soon), and of course there are the ever-present Cane Toads (Rhinella marina).

Peron’s Tree Frog living in my wall because builders didn’t seal the gap.

I’d been hearing it lately at night and this evening I heard it start calling and tracked it down to find it hiding in here.

Don’t worry, it can get out of here just fine so it’s not stuck in here.

I do want to seal up this gap at some point so I’m glad I’ve found this froggy friend living in here so I’ll know to check real good when I do get around to sealing the gap to make sure it’s not in there.

I have a couple of these frogs living in my backyard though most of them are living in the water reservoirs of potted plants under my bedroom window.

Top 5 frogs, go.

Oh I am so glad you asked this

1) has to go to the Green Tree Frog (Ranoidea caerulea), absolute classic frog, textbook. Just a little green guy who eats bugs. Love them.

2) the Perons Tree Frog (Litoria peronii) is a wonderful little guy. They have thunder thighs (bright marbled patterning on the inside of their legs that flashes when they jump to make predators think they're poisonous) and are also called the emerald-speckled tree frog, laughing tree frog, and maniacal cackle frog for obvious reasons.

3) goes to the Pobblebonk!! (Limnodynastes dumerilii) I love these little guys!! They go bonk bonk bonk like a banjo, wonderful

4) the Whooping Frog (Heleioporus inornatus) is native to Western Australia and sounds like a little video game character doing a jump, ain't that neat?

5) the Sunset Frog (Spicospina flammocaerulea) is a rare little guy who looks like a molten rock, but they're endangered :( hope they recover soon

Thanks again :)

Teenage frog!! I found ‘em a few years ago but I think they still deserve to be shared. Love how they’ve still got that tadpole-ish mouth

We have a greyhound, a cavoodle, two cats, a beardie, and three perons tree frogs!! We will hopefully be adopting a dingo soon too, from the sanctuary I work at!!

Oh my gosh!! I love all of that for you! I hope you get to adopt the dingo!! 💕 That would be so exciting!! Beardies are so cute when they walk. XD

I have 2 dogs (one miniature pinscher and one pitbull), and two cats. :D
