Paraguayan swimming frog (Pseudis platensis)

It’s the beginning of the wet season, and there are frogs everywhere. The nights are filled with the songs of many species and it might seem a simple task to find them. They are very sensitive to movement, and how the sound waves are changed by a moving object like my body.

With patience you’ll find them, but it’s hard to hone in on the source of the different frog songs. I don’t know the sound of this one, which was the only of the species I was able to photograph.

Update 30 Jan 2021:
Changed ID from Pseudis paradoxa to Pseudis platensis as paradoxa only occurs in the Amazon Basin. Please see details here:
