Hi all,
I haven't posted on this forum for ages!
Thought I'd share some photos from my frogging season that has now ended, as we go into Winter here in South Africa. Photos are from all around...

Thanks Heather:) I made a calendar for family members with these photos!

I live in Durban. I see you're in Northern KZN, lot's of frogs there! Most of the frog photos I posted were in Hluhluwe, on a game farm called Hakuna Matata. Great spot.
Thanks
I saw Kassina maculata recently, unfortunately I didn't get a photo!
Joh, I'll look a bit more carefully when I see a crab now, and try to identify it!
Hi Joh
Thanks a lot! Are there many different species of freshwater crabs in KZN?
Thanks, glad you like the photos.:)
These are some of the frogs I have found in KZN, South Africa, this season.
