Albert, your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!

Great spotting! Frog's webs perfectly matching the patterns of the fern leaves!

Thanks, @Daniele :) This species seems to be highly variable, saw quite a few of them, but this particular one was unique with the lighter snout.

What a beauty with that light snout! First time for this species on Project Noah. Thanks Albert!
