A mostly green frog is sitting among green plants. The frog has a line starting at the snout, going below the eye and along the lower side of its body and another one starting behind the eye and along the body between the side and the back. Though not 100% visible in the picture, it's safe to assume that similar lines are found on the other side of the body. The frog is covered in large dark spots. It is looking to the right in the picture.

Sorry, that was a typo. I couldn't find a frog species which was SPOT ON when compared to the frog you posted above - which left me unable to name the species. I'm just curious as to what the frog actually is.

Will you tell us at some point? I tried for 15-20 mins, but couldn't find a species which was spot one.

That picture reminded me of this visit to the inside of a Lorikeet enclosure in a private zoo here in Denmark some years back. They are beautiful birds, but somewhat loud.

I just posted a short video of the birds here:

After filming this, one of my nieces was left with white streaks in her hair. She took it well.
