Heterixalus alboguttatus

Starry Night Frog
Also known as:
Whitebelly Reed Frog
Needless to say, this was definitely high on our list for species we most wanted to see in the Ranomafana area. The mildly spotty one is a male (*yawn*), whereas the super terrifically spotted one is a female.
Here is a list of all the reptiles and frogs I saw on this 2023 trip to Madagascar.
