'Bush Tucker'
Open for interpretation – Challenge yourself to thought processes behind this one – the frogs were a nice sugar hit after a 10 km hike around Uluru!
Much like the Honey ant these frogs are indicative to a warm semi arid desert. Prized for thier sweet flesh and high antioxidant values. They are not easy to find but due to a prolonged spate of hot weather in the central region of australia they were seen in limited numbers migrating to a more accomodating region assisted by whats known as a ‘homosapien’. They generally roam in ‘packs’ and easily spotted by thier bright colouring. They are vulnerable due to this however and tend to be easy pickings for most two legged species. They have been known to be attacked by armies of ants and flies which tend to regard them as a delicacy providing much needed nectar for long term survival.
They are known as ‘froggis nectaris colouris’ and have only recently been discovered in the last ten years. :P

ive never seen frogs like this where i live, how amazing is mother nature. what kind of frogs are these?

Did you go thru my back pack last time I wandered off into the bush. It’s true the secret to my power is anything in a plastic bag that has “allens” on it. But I do really love this.
salsbells69 replied
LOL..thanks Steven! Yes..I am fond of them too!
ajax
Ha Ha what a great concept and sense of humour, I would’nt mind being stranded in the outback if the tucker is that tasty.I’d have watch out for the “frog gobbling red bubblers” though,I’ve heard they’re a fast and stealthy species!!!
salsbells69 replied
lol..they are apparantly..and they like the red ones! Thanks so much for the commetn and the visit :D

I noticed that you kept the highly venomous “red gummy frog” at a good distance
safe shooting
salsbells69 replied
lol..yes..they are highly toxic…people are known to become very agitated and hyperactive after touching or consuming the red ones..:D
Steve Chapple
Now isn’t that clever and such a stunning vibrant outcome, you should sell this image to the company!!!!!!

You have some amazing photos on your gallery, Visually engaging and creative. So far this is a favourite, it’s quirky and fun, and shot well because the contasts between the lolly frogs and the rock are so different.
Amazing work. Be proud.
