Tianmu Mountain, Zhejiang, my amphibian and reptile expedition

Text: Zhao Yi

At the beginning of May, the Zhejiang Amphibian and Reptile Photography Group conducted an inspection in the Tianmu Mountain National Nature Reserve, which was supported by the leaders of the Tianmu Mountain National Nature Reserve Management Bureau, and specially thanked Yang Bureau (Professor Yang, an absolute expert) and Chief Zhao for their help in contacting and receiving. This trip is also the first gathering of the experts and celebrities of the photography group, although there are several big celebrities in the group who can't come to participate temporarily, but they all sent "congratulatory messages", expressing envy and jealousy, as the group leader of the photography group, I am very pleased.

Many species were photographed in one night of the trip, including snakes: one white ring snake of Liu's, one black-backed white ring snake, one Chinese blunt-headed snake, one soldering iron head in East China (it was dead at the time of discovery), one yellow chain snake, one red chain snake, seven Fujian bamboo leaf greens, a total of 13 7 kinds of snakes; frogs: big tree frog, spotted-legged tree frog, tianmu stink frog, sunken-eared frog, light-shouldered horned toad, etc.; lizards: northern grass lizards; insects: Chinese tiger beetle, Hu Feng, Shuobujia, etc. I took photos of some of these species and shared them in this issue. There are also some photos of the inflorescence, please enjoy them together.

Let's take two scenes first!

Some frogs, the concave-eared frog is my new species!

The big tree frog that held the right, under a small waterfall in a small pond, took off his shoes and shot barefoot, was drenched by the water, and the next day he took a telephoto lens to shoot in situ, and actually hugged together, but changed his position.
