the amazing gliding leaf frog!

yes, they glide down from the canopy to the foliage around water to find a mate and breed. several times a year they have these explosive breeding events which are amazing to see.

this photo, however, is neither action-packed nor riveting. it's just a gliding leaf frog sitting on a leaf. but, trust me, they are an interesting species....google Agalychnis spurrelli if you don't believe me.

but I've forgotten. Can you explain it again? It's a dramatic effect.
Thanks.

I've also forgotten to mention I really like your George Harrison avatar.
He's always been my favorite Beatle.
