A Hidden gem!

            During the day the bush frogs and tree frogs sleep on leaves that are not exposed to sun or is in wide open. They find places that are closely packed. This minimises the risk of being exposed to direct sun as well to reduce the chances of being preyed upon.
One can track the frogs during night listening to their calls but the chances of finding the same frog during the day is very very difficult. Tree frogs like the one pictured here, a winged gliding frog has excellent camouflage which is almost impossible to find it during day. 
Vipin and I spent almost 30 minutes before finding this individual. It was fun searching the treasure :)
