Sandpaper Frogs (Lechriodus fletcheri)

Lots of pairs in amplex in every available puddle. Also, some nice colour variation amongst individuals. This frog can easily be mistaken with other frogs such as juvenile great barred frogs (Mixophyes species), but has several key differences including no webbed toes, black undersides of the feet, and a tendency to flatten out when disturbed.
