This is just one of many impressive frog species I encountered in Madagascar. I don’t know of a common name but the scientific name is Heterixalus betsileo. I saw a few of these little guys and they ranged in color from almost white to a bright yellow. This one was somewhere in the middle of those extremes. Heterixalus Betsileo also has varying degrees of those little dark flecks. I must say, this one had particularly outstanding flecks. Nikon D200 with Nikkor 80-200mm lens (at 200mm with Canon 500D close up filter) ISO 100, f/22 at 1/60th of a second, two Nikon SB-600 flash units.

Amazing looking frog, but he’s got to work on that name: It sounds like a Harry Potter spell that makes straight people buy scratch-off lotto tickets.
