🐸 A single #FrogID recording from QLD has set a new record, with 14 frog species detected! Even more impressively, nearly half of the species heard in this recording, like the Crucifix Frog, have no previous records from the area. Thanks for your submission, Satoku!

From the outer suburbs of Brisbane, Vincent submitted this fantastic recording of a Copper-backed Toadlet (Pseudophryne raveni) 🐸
While #FrogID identifications are based on the audio component, we always enjoy seeing photos of the frogs behind the calls. Thanks, Vincent!

Jane has been using #FrogID to monitor frogs in the ACT, including the threatened Green and Golden Bell Frog, reintroduced earlier this year. 🐸 Pictured is habitat for the species and a frog sauna, which research suggests may help some frogs fight chytrid fungus.

The high pitched ‘whoop-whoop’ call of this Northern Spadefoot was recorded by Daniel in Kakadu, NT. Male frogs will float in breeding habitat and inflate their bodies as they call during the breeding season. Thanks for recording this fantastic frog call with #FrogID, Daniel!

This Ruddy Tree Frog (Litoria/Colleeneremia pyrina) is calling from a bromeliad - a spot he finds ideal for attracting female frogs.
Frogs need moisture, shelter, some shade, and safe places to breed. You can support them at home by creating similar microhabitats.
