Common Tree Frog (Polypedates leucomystax)

Sometimes, you may hear a loud thud on your door. Sometimes, it's your window. If you look carefully, you may find that it is, in fact, a beautiful Common Tree Frog. They seem to be able to defy gravity and leap ridiculous distances and can stick to anything. I once even had one land on my chest. I must admit, that made me jump, too! They are a good size and vary slightly in colour, possibly to do with age and habitat. If you quiet, you can get quite close to them. These shots are uncropped, using a 100mm macro lens. I think this one is a female and was attached to my gate.
