User's notes

Found in rainforest - I have a slowmotion video of the frog jumping, it released water as it jumped. Approx 50mm in length. I am not 100% about my idea, but would be excited if correct!

Close but no cigar. The males are dark outside the breeding season.

Ah ok, fair enough! I’ve added one more photo taken on my phone without flash (the first 3 were taken with flash).
It’s colour was very different from the last Lesueuri that I had found, is this a gender variance?

@WattaWanderer - your observation of squirting whilst jumping behaviour sounds very interesting. I'd love to see it if possible. Have you shown it to an expert yet?
