I was staying in the town of Maroantsetra on the north east coast of Madagascar. This was merely a stopover point before taking a boat over to the Masoala Peninsula, but due to bad weather I was stranded in Maroantsetra for a couple of nights. Trying to make the best of a bad situation, I spent a day walking the grounds of the Rulais du Masoala hotel, and its nearby forests, looking for whatever wildlife I could find.
Unlike most tree frogs that are nocturnal, many of Madagascar’s 300 plus species, including the Madagascar reed frog, can be found during the day. When these frogs mature they turn a beautiful light blue and yellow, but as juveniles they are almost purely yellow, making the yellow pachypodium flower the perfect hiding place.
