Photo by Rebekah, copied here from another, taxonomically incorrect topic, after a complaint by a nature-loving and knowledgeable (but nit-picky) forum member, plus a zoom-in. Rebekah posted this photo on Facebook first, tagging the mini frog "Lamma Gung", successfully getting my attention....

Probably the same species as this "Wildlife of the Week" photo by Howard Sheard. But we still don't know the species...

Looks to be a lot for one to create, I wonder if more than one female uses the same one? Nancy?

Greetings from the U.S! That one is the brown tree frog (Polypedates megacephalus). They are the cousins of the flying frogs of Borneo; distant cousins but in the same family. A single female makes the foam nest and she is about 50% larger than the males. As she extrudes about 300-700 eggs and a lot of mucous, anywhere from 1-5 males are hanging onto her trying to fertilize them. She kicks her legs back and forth during this process, whipping the eggs, mucous, and sperm into a big meringue-like foam that attaches to vegetation above a pond or on the edge of the pond. Within about 8 hours the outer surface of the foam nest hardens a bit and that helps to retain the moisture inside as the embryos develop. Nice pictures all! That is a male sitting on the foam nest at the pond edge in the picture. It looks like the nest is quite a few hours old (that he can sit on it) and it may not be his. Looks like a nice soft chair, though. |
