Went to one of my local patches for insects yesterday all setup for a morning of insect shooting. I kept seeing these small movements on the floor which I realised were lots of tiny frogs fleeing my incursion into their domain.

#1 almost invisible against the leaf litter, I have boosted the contrast to help it stand out, a crop as they kept running away from me

Nice pictures the BG in all is very loaded with things, and that is very disturbing

Thanks for your kind comments.

It was a very funny experience, as individuals they were almost invisible, what you saw was a spooky wave of movement as many of them hopped around.
