Hi, Luke. This is one great-looking frog. It appears to have been placed in the "Reptiles of the World" mission by mistake. When you get a moment, will you please remove it. Thanks! :-)

Awesome spot!

I mean crop this front picture and show bigger pose of it in separate picture like close up.

I rearranged the order so the second picture now shoes up as the cover image. Is that what you mean?

Luke.. Request you to crop second picture add it as separate one. It will be striking image.

Lovely one.. Nice spotting.. Lot of learning..!!

It's nice and as well take a look at image 3 how it camouflages with brown leaves.

Nice photos -- cool frog!

Hmm... You may be right Luke. The distribution information I had for M. nasuta didn't include Indonesia, which is why I omitted it from consideration, but some sources DO list Indonesia as part of its range. And you're right, I've yet to spot another photo with the orange toes either.

I would lean more towards Megophrys nasuta than montana, especially considering Megophrys montana is endemic to Java, not Sumatra. Neither of them seem to have the orange toes, however, at least in any of the pictures I've seen.
