Litoria ewingii tadpole[edit]

Original - Brown Tree Frog (Litoria ewingii) tadpole.
Reason
Reasonable quality and a moderately difficult shot. Complements the other images in the article. I am sure of the ID since brown tree frogs are the only type that are found in my garden.

  • Support It must have been difficult capturing this underwater creature. ZooFari 01:16, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

      • And here I'm thinking, "Nah, tadpoles are pretty easy to catch..." ~ ωαdεstεr16♣TC♣ 05:39, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        • Yeah, you'd kill it though, and the photo wouldn't be representative of its environment. Noodle snacks (talk) 06:07, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
          • No way. I've caught many tadpoles in my day; some grew up to be frogs in my terrarium. And to be honest, I assumed this photo was taken in a white five-gallon bucket filled with dirty (natural) water. There's nothing to indicate otherwise. ~ ωαdεstεr16♣TC♣ 07:12, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support - It looks good overall, and I appreciate how difficult it must have been to capture this photo, but the angle just seems a bit odd to me. Still has my support, though. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 14:12, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
