This is a tiny visitor that I had last summer. Sitting at my desk in the study, I was vaguely aware of something moving behind me. It jumped right in from the verandah, across the family room and behind my chair, stopping in the corner beside my desk. I thought it might be a baby cane toad (a dreaded introduced species which eat the local frogs). It was so tiny that I couldn't really tell was it was, so to get a better look, I took a picture of it.
It is a Striped Marsh Frog, and grows to about 65mm, or just over 2 inches. It is the first time I have seen one in the 16 years that I have lived here. It visited 3 times in a week, and then hopped off, and didn't come back after that.
