It is quite flat and usually lives inside moist rock crevices/under rocks with moisture during the day time. Its tadpoles are found on moist rock surfaces as opposed to pools of water or flowing water.Amila Salgadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05607756343837325575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722779828036945775.post-23945343226547762122008-08-25T22:25:00.000+05:302008-08-25T22:25:00.000+05:30The Butterflies and Dragons are fantastic.

Too late..you have taken the wrong evolutionary path. <BR/><BR/>Hi Bobbie,<BR/>I am happy you like them. <BR/>As for dragons, keep trying and you will succeed. I remember giving you some tips. Read them and try again!Amila Salgadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05607756343837325575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722779828036945775.post-32818179832663537432008-08-25T18:31:00.000+05:302008-08-25T18:31:00.000+05:30That rock frog is all but invisible!The dragonflie...That rock frog is all but invisible!<BR/><BR/>The dragonflies are so gorgeous!

Flutterer is common in my home garden. The rock frog was my top highlight of the trip as I saw it after a long time. Its genus is endemic and one of its related species is sadly one of the 21 amphbians that are considered as extinct since their discovery in the colonial era of natural history explorations in the 19th century.Amila Salgadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05607756343837325575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722779828036945775.post-14462917755526713292008-08-24T21:39:00.000+05:302008-08-24T21:39:00.000+05:30Wah! five species of Dragonfly in stunning colour!...Wah! five species of Dragonfly in stunning colour!<BR/><BR/>The 'flutter' is the best, not seen at my backyard here.<BR/><BR/>That 'rock frog' surely very good at camouflage.Redzlan aka Tabibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08137628223567014214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722779828036945775.post-15110075540613772742008-08-24T12:51:00.000+05:302008-08-24T12:51:00.000+05:30amila, maybe you could link those locations to goo...amila, maybe you could link those locations to google maps so visitors from overseas can get a good look. they've updated a lot of sat pics on sl now, you can get a real nice view. ive been looking at areas in the north and east that hav been locked away for 25+ years because of the conflict and if the war comes to an end any time soon, those places will be amazing to visit. <BR/><BR/>e.g. look at iranativu islands with the reef, shallows, sea-grass beds. there prob some amazing wildlife (e.g. dugongs) here that u cant see anywhere else. <BR/><BR/>http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Mannar+Sri+Lanka&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=88.197716,76.992188&ie=UTF8&t=h&ll=9.285501,79.998348&spn=0.003801,0.004828&z=18&iwloc=addrmboihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10520205541478113140noreply@blogger.com
