This is one of the beautiful frogs I have ever seen and photographed. Spotted by my fellow herper and a good friend, Vivek. It was sittng on a plant(or Tree) of about 15ft around 12:30 in the mid-night. It's a beautiful jumper and can jump a long distance(approx 5-8ft). Majorly seen during the monsoons and very less or nothing is known as in where it goes during the other seasons. Its an endemic species to the western ghats and the common name is Winged Gliding Frog.
Thanks for viewing.
