People are reporting Green Tree #Frogs (Litoria caerulea) dying across NSW and southern QLD. Possibly due to the cold weather weakening their resistance to a deadly frog disease. Please get in touch if you see any dead frogs! #WildOz @FrogIDAus abc.net.au/news/2021-07-2…

I can get around #WorldSnakeDay was lucky to see this king cobra on the Andaman Islands back in 2014. Snake royalty 👑

Harlequin tree #frogs (Rhacophorus pardalis) from #Borneo, & many related species, lay their eggs on leaves above pools, & whip them up with their #feet into a foamy nest to protect them. When the eggs develop into tadpoles, they just drop into the pool below. 🐸

There are reports of Green Tree Frogs (Litoria caerulea) dying around the #Sydney area at the moment. 😢 Please contact me if you've seen any dead #frogs recently - it's not a good sign & we need to understand how widespread this is and what is causing it. #WildOz @abcsydney

Submitted to #FrogID by Australian Museum scientists is the Tasmanian Smooth Froglet (Geocrinia laevis) - a small, ground frog that is possible to hear calling throughout the year across TAS. Please record it with #FrogID if you hear it! frogid.net.au/frogs/geocrini… #FrogFriday

The culprit of the calls in my previous post. A highly variable, colourful and loud little autumn-breeding frog species. Victorian Smooth Frog (Geocrinia victoriana). One of my fav local species with one of the best calls! #wildoz #autumnfrogs

Without a doubt one of the most beautiful frog species in #Australia, the spectacular Tasmanian Tree #Frog (Litoria burrowsae). 😍 So lucky to have seen this special frog species during fieldwork in #Tasmania last week. #WildOz @FrogIDAus

People across #Australia, armed with the @FrogIDAus app are revolutionising our understanding of Australia's #frogs! This data is just the first two years of the project- the next data release will more than double this! #citizenscience #WildOz 🐸

Check this out. Frog records on the ALA, which contains pretty much all species observations in Australia since the 1700s, by source dataset. Arrow points to FrogID, a citizen science project started less than four years ago.
