Look at this frog, just look at it. It's glorious.
@l1zrd Love it! Do you know what it's called?
@iooioio @l1zrd I believe it is a Vietnamese moss frog.
@iooioio @l1zrd "Frog. Just call me frog." -- the frog croaked, in badly frog-accented English
@iooioio @l1zrd that is the Romanesco Brocolli Frog
@l1zrd a little barking forest πŸ’šπŸ’šπŸ’šπŸ’š

@l1zrd that is gorgeous!

Would you mind adding alt text please, so a wider selection of people can enjoy it? You can borrow this description if you like:

A small frog sits on a person's fingertips. The frog is covered with little bumps in various shades of green and brown. It is quite delightful.

@JetlagJen Oops, this must have been before I paid attention to adding descriptions. Thank you, added yours to the picture.
@JetlagJen @l1zrd And there was me looking at the alt text hoping it would tell me the species ... (there are frog nerds in the family).
@l1zrd "Am I frog, or landscape? Are we not all landscape for tiny creatures that live on us unnoticed, just as we are unnoticed by the landscape?"

@l1zrd This just keeps making me think of this horse song but for a frog:

@joshisanonymous I have sung that song in my head routinely for so many years now. πŸ˜†
@l1zrd Glorious indeed    

@l1zrd

Gozilla, but cute.

@Brynawel They say he's got to go, OH NO! Godzilla.

@l1zrd

I believe that glorious #amphibian to be a Theloderma corticale - a Vietnamese mossy #frog

@l1zrd It screams:

"STEALTH: Level 100 [MAX]"

@l1zrd can I borrow your frog to give it a kiss? maybe I will turn into what ever the fuck I was sposed to be cuz this sure the hell aint it.
@l1zrd is it behind the clump of moss?
@l1zrd Smol frog weighs 1/8 of an ounce
@l1zrd please tell me this is either called a fractal frog or a romanesco frog?
@petrillic Vietnamese mossy frog is what the source said. But fractal frog is a great name too.

as an entologist I cannot convey to you how frustrating it is to continually see ent-children mis-categorised
