Hi there,

I just joined the forum a few days ago. I don't keep any frogs, but do enjoy going out and spotting them in the wild. I just thought I'd post up a few pics of species I've seen over the past few weeks. I'd prefer to post all the photos together, but I guess the forum is pretty much divided into sections by frog type. (If anyone has suggestions of a better section to which I should post all frog/toad photos, I'd be happy to hear.)

So anyway, here are a bunch of tree frog pics, all taken in or near Taipei. Descriptions below each pair of photos.



Polypedates megacephalus, known locally as the white-lipped or white-jawed tree frog. A species fairly widespread throughout Taiwan, China, Myanmar, as far as NE India.



Rhacophorus taipeianus, the Taipei green tree frog. An endemic species restricted to northern Taiwan. I'll have to get out to take better pictures of this one ... my pictures don't do it justice.



Kurixalus idiootocus, the MeinTien tree frog (after type locality, I think). A very small species, and another one restricted to Taiwan, though fairly widespread throughout the island.



Rhacophorus prasinatus, the emerald tree frog. Another beauty, and like the Taipei green tree frog restricted to northern Taiwan.



Hyla chinensis, the Chinese tree toad, the only member of Hylidae present in Taiwan. Widespread throughout eastern China and Taiwan.

Okay then, that's it for now. Hope these upload properly. I'll post photos of some other Taiwanese species in some other section or sections later on. Thanks for looking!
