Common eastern froglet - Crinia signifera (about 3cm long). There were lots hopping around during Frogwatch as it was rather wet in Oct 2010.

Hi Aaron, talked to Will about this one and he identified it as smooth toadlet. This one was a hard one for sure!!

Thanks Anke for chasing up and for confirming... That is really interesting. Are they a pest or anything being a "toad"let? Or considered a nice little friendly native?!

Not a pest, just one of the frog species found in the ACT. There are lots of them at Tidbinbilla
