Top 5 frogs, go.
Oh I am so glad you asked this
1) has to go to the Green Tree Frog (Ranoidea caerulea), absolute classic frog, textbook. Just a little green guy who eats bugs. Love them.
2) the Perons Tree Frog (Litoria peronii) is a wonderful little guy. They have thunder thighs (bright marbled patterning on the inside of their legs that flashes when they jump to make predators think they're poisonous) and are also called the emerald-speckled tree frog, laughing tree frog, and maniacal cackle frog for obvious reasons.
3) goes to the Pobblebonk!! (Limnodynastes dumerilii) I love these little guys!! They go bonk bonk bonk like a banjo, wonderful
4) the Whooping Frog (Heleioporus inornatus) is native to Western Australia and sounds like a little video game character doing a jump, ain't that neat?
5) the Sunset Frog (Spicospina flammocaerulea) is a rare little guy who looks like a molten rock, but they're endangered :( hope they recover soon
Thanks again :)

This little guy is a striped marsh from (Limnodynastes peronii). After the recent rains he was found hopping around our backyard... This adaptable little species is quite common around the suburbs of the Illawarra. #frogsofinstagram #amphibian #visitwollongong #northernillawarra via Instagram http://bit.ly/3c24Gjh

Striped Marsh Frog
Limnodynastes peronii
Limnodynastes translates into marsh energy, while peronii is in honor of François Péron.
Family: Myobatrachidae (Australian Ground Frogs)
Fun Fact: "The male's call is an explosive "whuck." The call is comparable to a hammer striking an anvil, and is repeated at intervals of a few seconds." (ADW)
Habitat: They are endemic to marshes, ponds, and other freshwater ways of eastern Australia.
Ecosystem Role: As tadpoles, they consume aquatic plants, and when they mature they help control populations of insects and other invertebrates. 
Conservation Status: Least Concern

today’s funky frog of the day is: limnodynastes peronii! commonly known as striped marsh frogs or brown-striped frogs, they are native to coastal eastern australia. adults are around 2.8 inches in length, and they come in various different shades of brown. they inhabit ponds, roadside ditches, creeks, dams, flooded areas, and any other available water bodies. their call is said to sound like a hammer hitting a piece of timber, and breeding season is from late winter to early spring. they live for about 5 years and feed on flies, worms, slugs, and spiders.
