I love frogs...

This Eastern Dwarf Green Frog only grows to about 2.5 cm... 
and this was not fully grown....a tiny wonder to behold....
and a perfect way to avoid doing my bookkeeping..!!








This frog is associated with a wide variety of habitats including coastal swamps, lagoons, dams, ditches, and garden ponds in forest, heathland, wallum country and cleared farmland. The Eastern Dwarf Tree Frog lives in reeds and similar plants both near and away from the water. They often will inhabit banana trees in the Northern areas of Australia, and are sometimes shipped with the bananas throughout Australia. They are known in Australia for becoming lost frogs by turning up in fruit shops outside of their normal range.The eastern dwarf tree frog is 15-25mm long from snout to the behind. 
PS.the tadpoles are bigger than the adult frog, with a size of 30mm imagine if our babies were bigger than us !!!
