Identification and description:
The Wilcox's Frog, or Litoria wilcoxii, is a tree frog species primarily found in the coastal regions of southeastern Queensland and northeastern New South Wales in Australia. It is recognizable by its smooth skin and bright green coloration, often speckled with golden or brown spots. This frog prefers humid habitats such as rainforests, swamps, and riverbanks with dense vegetation. It is mainly nocturnal, hiding in vegetation during the day and becoming active at night to feed on insects. Although its conservation status is currently "least concern," it is sensitive to environmental changes, particularly habitat loss and pollution.

Recommended lens:
Macro – adjust based on distance, desired framing (portrait or habitat), and approach conditions.

Photography tips:
To photograph the Wilcox's Frog, it is advisable to use a macro lens to capture the details of its smooth skin and bright colors. Look for it near water sources at night when these frogs are most active. Use soft lighting to avoid startling the animal and to highlight its natural hues. Be patient and discreet, as even though it is tolerant, sudden movements may cause it to flee.
