Photographer Captures World’s Tiniest Rodeo: Frog Riding A Beetle
175Kviews
Hendy Mp, a talented wildlife photographer based in Indonesia, has captured what is probably one of the weirdest spectacles we’ve ever seen – a tree frog going for a wild rodeo ride on the back of a giant horned wood-boring beetle. The tree frog is a Reinwardt’s Flying Frog, a threatened species that can glide down from trees with the skin between its fingers and toes.
The wild and adorable scene was captured not far from Mp’s home in Sambas, Indonesia. Mp is a fan of macro photography, and uses it to capture beautiful larger-than life photos of the many different beautiful insects, reptiles and amphibians native to Indonesia.
If you love having a close-up look at the tiny world of frigs, lizards and insects, then you’ll definitely love these photos by Vyacheslav Mishchenko and Miki Asai as well.

This is kinda cute and funny at the same time
The frog is definitely being forced into those positions and is definitely distressed. Frogs don't open their mouths like that unless they're under severe stress, and the hand position is completely unnatural and was likely forced that way.
it is torture nothing more. All these pictures are staged. "Hendy Mp, a talented wildlife photographer" Hmpf my *** a fraud that is what he is. Basically every picture is staged with "pets". He doesn't see them as that, he sees them as toys. (his words not mine).
Thanks, officer buzzkill.
Makes you wonder if they can communicate with each other.
No it doesn't. It makes you wonder how long this poor frog has been staged in pictures that is so exhausted that it sits still on an animal it wouldn't get close to in any normal situation.
Wee woo wee woo! The PETA police has arrived!
Bro, bro, broooo !!! lets do this, lets do this, lets do thisss!!! Yihaaaaa!!!
