Ashish if you go to my spottings and filters them by type, you can see the ones in amphibias I have place for the project.

Jonathan Sequeira

I do... I go all around the country, to the forest, rivers, ocean etc as much as i can i bring a camera...I have more than 20000 pictures, so it will take me a long time to post them in the project. many of the specimens are not identifided... So I start with the ones I know well or the ones I need some help.... YOU ALL HAVE HELP ME A LOT.
