I'm not too much of a frog guy, but I knew your pics would be spectacular. I wasn't wrong. Beautiful.

Thanks, Jeroen. No frog book for Malaysia yet I think. I refer to amphibia.my for my IDs. I also get help from a few of my herpetologist friends.

Wow, that might be the largest eye to skull ratio I've seen in a frog - I give it a ten! :thumb: And of course as usual, stunning photos all around :beer:

Thanks, John. I think you've just given me another key on differentiating an Odorrana hosii from Hylarana labialis.
