A pair of Nilgiri Torrent Darts (Euphaea dispar) connected in the heart-shaped mating wheel. One of the most brightly-coloured damselflies we have in India.
After quite a few attempts, got a glimpse of this Wayanad Wrinkled Frog (Nyctibatrachus grandis) peeping out from gap in the rocks under a waterfall (a place this guy calls home).
The entire family of wrinkled or night frogs (Nyctibatrachidae) is endemic to the Western Ghats, and the Wayanad Wrinkled Frog is the largest member in this family.
Rajan R D Excellent work Pranad.
Harshil D Great effort for getting this..superb!
Mohit Srinivasan Great find. Were some of the frogs in the family discovered recently?
Pranad Patil Thanks guys. @Mohit, yes. A lot of work is being done with respect to frog taxonomy in the Western Ghats and new several new frog species are discovered every year. As you have mentioned, several Nyctibatrachidae frogs have been discovered only recently.
Pranad Patil @Mohit, in fact this particular species was discovered as recently as in 2011.
