Blue Moor Frog
The moor frog is a small amphibian, inhabiting an area stretching from Belgium in the west over central Europe to Siberia in the east.
Once a year, in the mating season, the male moor frog discolors from brown to blue to attract a female.
How bluer he becomes, the more potent he seems and the more chance he has to win a female for himself.
A unique spectacle !
However, it's fast over. After 1 or 2 days the male frog retakes his original brown color.
Dutch name : Heikikker

Muy buena toma e interesante técnica de apareo. Saludos MarkSteve Ember 07/08/2022 9:15
Eye-catching nature study; and thank you for the interesting commentary on the frog's vivid color and the reason for it.One wonders if the female ends up feeling hoodwinked (frog-winked) when hubby goes back to being drab brown ;-)
Compliments,
Steve
