Monomad: Amphibians on Rocks

IMG_20250114_165831.jpg

That day's luck when I found an amphibian in the rice fields. He was a lively but friendly baby frog. The distance from the rice fields was a bit far, about a hundred meters, but the area where I was hunting was a wet and slightly rocky area. Not long after, the baby frog jumped onto a piece of limestone, I immediately used that opportunity to shoot from several angles.

While sitting on the rock, the frog was seen playing with his Adam's apple. His beautiful face and eyes showed the beauty of God's creation. That was the first time I looked at his eyes at close range. Something unique happened when a grasshopper suddenly jumped onto the amphibian's head which surprised the frog. For a while the frog seemed to close his eyes because he was tickled, because the grasshopper was playing on his head.

I didn't stay still, I immediately aimed at the frog and the wild grasshopper. Unfortunately, the grasshopper didn't stand still for long, he jumped leaving the confused frog.

That was my short story with a frog on a rock. After feeling enough, I thanked the frog. I waited a few minutes for it to come down from the rock. The frog nimbly jumped down. I think it immediately looked for a puddle of water or chose to jump straight into the rice field, to its second habitat, water.

Amphibians are one of the most difficult animals to catch, but you made it today, are the amphibians you found harmless my friend?

It's a small frog that has just metamorphosed from kecebong yang masih jinak. Terimakasih atas pertanyaan bagus nya.

You're welcome my friend,thanks you so much Answered my question,I love this little creature 👍

It's amazing how the camouflage of the animals, and very good pictures my friend, greetings

Thank you friend, it is a pleasure to receive your response tonight.

I loved the story of the frog's confusion, but even more the photographs. In black and white they look stunning.
I wonder what colours that rock was... although I imagine it to be white and greenish.
The frog has drawings on its face that look like tattoos. Amazing!

@nanixxx , The stone is grayish white. Yes, the word has many scribbles on its face and the most beautiful is its eyes with round, protruding yellowish lenses. Sorry, I'm late in responding 🫰

Thank you! Grayish Hahaha... I missed the mark!
