Photo of the Month August 2010

That's not really true Paul and you know it :P. They are sleeping. The reason the male is on the female's back like that is that he has claimed her as his mate. They are not actually mating in the photo.

Ok John, I was over simplifying
John is correct, they are sleeping in the photo and when awake the male messages the female to try and stimulate her to lay eggs.

Kurt had so much fun messing with my profile. But after all that effort, I couldn't make him immediately change everything back. When the time comes, however, he better change it all back. I definitely don't want to do it.

Oooh, so many goodies this month!
Here is my entry of a very tiny (quarter size) Bufo Americanus ( I believe ).

[Iratus ranunculus]

But thats not a frog. Looks like he is in a fire. Perhaps, he is a actually a Salamandra salamandra.

No no. I took the image on a small section of the rotting wood I found him in. He was inside a little acrylic box turned on its side, under the lens of a very nice dissection scope with camera equipment attached. The focus however was so fine that it distorted what was in the background, giving it a really cool fire effect.

If you must have frogs, I can of course oblige, as I am a competent wildlife photographer.
