A tiny frog, it merges into the pebbles around it with utmost ease. In breeding season, it develops red patches on its upper body, hence the common name.

Bicolored Frog (Clinotarsus curtipes or Rana curtipes) This is a Near Threatened species of frog that is endemic to the Western Ghats in South-West India. I’ve always seen it under rich rainforest canopy in the leaf litter where its camouflage makes it difficult to spot…unless it moves. Photographed in Agumbe in June 2012
