Indian Skipper frog / Skittering frog (Euphlyctis cyanophlyctis)

I've seen these little frogs abundant in wet zone lowland fresh water habitats of Sri Lanka.  I took this photo yesterday at a pond made to water some crops, at Alawwa, a wet zone lowland area. I don't know  the exact distribution of this frog in Sri Lanka yet.

A Frog In The Workplace

I saw this frog on a wall inside a ward at our hospital last Thursday. My friend Bushana at Lakdasun helped me to identify it. I'll quote him below.


"It is Spotted tree frog (Polypedates maculatus) probably the most common tree frog of Sri Lanka widely distributed in both dry and wet zone lowlands. It is often encountered in anthropogenic habitats such as inside bathrooms, banana groves..etc during day time."


Thank you Bushana!














By the way, there'll be another butterfly video the morow! Learn more about Spotted tree frog............
