30 Adorable Frog Pictures By Ajar Setiadi That He Took Near His House
Indonesian wildlife photographer Ajar Setiadi takes photos of frogs that live near his home in Bogor, Indonesia. Images of him reveal the fascinating behavior of these colorful animals. Setiadi treats the animals like pets, letting them play in his garden while he turns on his camera to capture these special pictures. According to the photographer himself, capturing these little moments on camera feels like a tiny miracle.
In one image, a frog in the rain holds a leaf like an umbrella; in another one of his pictures, you can see two frogs appear to be dancing together. However, there is one image in particular that stands out as the most charming: Setiadi managed to capture two huddled frogs while they were hiding from the rain under an umbrella of flowers. Frogs are social creatures and this emotional image resembles a couple in love or two friends who care for each other during a storm.

The G/F: Awww....... it's like he's putting his arm round her and telling her everthing is going to be ok..... Me: No........ she's putting her round him and saying 'it's ok..... but don't try putting a flower up your ass again once we get this one out.
According to the wildlife photographer himself, Ajar said that he always had been interested in the secret lives of various animals. Most of Ajar's photos are taken in nature, near his house where he spends a lot of time trying to these capture rare shots we get to see now. Most of the frogs seen in these photos are local to Bogor, Indonesia, and Asia as a whole.
They die like that??? I found a dead frog in a bathroom at a park one time

We think it's safe to assume that after so much time the Indonesian photographer has developed quite a talent for taking such up-close and unique photos. On his Instagram Setiadi mentioned that he enjoys the rain because then he gets to watch white tree frogs (also known as Australian green tree frogs). According to the photographer, the frogs often seek shelter under flowers, vegetables, and other plants.

Ajar's most well-known photo depicts a couple of sweet frogs that were shielding one another from the rain under a flower, using it as an umbrella. The photographer only managed to get a few photos but admitted that the moment was really special and unlike anything else he had ever seen. It was something that was practically unrepeatable, a one-in-a-million chance.
Do you think my new hat brings out the color of my eyes - truth now?
The said picture won numerous photography contests in the world, and we can see why. Besides taking pictures of the frogs, Ajar also likes to photograph insects, other types of reptiles, rats, birds, fish, and occasionally even people. Setiadi also mentioned that for the sake of a good picture he doesn't mind getting a little bit wet.
I can and will bend this flower because I am very strong, as you well know!
Hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my ragtime gal.

Ladies and gentlemen - Fred and Gladys doing their rendition of the Frog Boogie!
Looks like someone is very confused about its place in the world...
This mouse looks very sleepy. I think he was just pulled out of his nest to take the picture.
Gladys do you really think you should wear real fur, faux fur is still attractive. Now please get off my back!
Is she coming? Is she going to come. I saved this flower just for her and the show is about to start.
So the question is this: Is the frog the flower’s accessory or is the flower the frog’s accessory—they’re very matchy-matchy.
I know for sure this flower really does bring out my eyes - thanks Fred!
And then this happened, also in Indonesia, frog and mouse: https://www.the-sun.com/news/2437977/frog-eats-mouse-whole-indonesia/
Please stop encouraging photographers to harm animals for sake of photos. There are no white mice in the wild, so this was all staged, with a horrifying outcome.

Listen Gladys come and see this kitchen I think we have found our dream pad!
Begining of leapfrog. First rule: going over the rules of the game.
They’re likely some type of dart-poison frogs, which tend to be very colorful to let you know not to touch them.

Gotta keep our husbands in line.... er, or wives...... jest hold 'em down!!!
"I've just known I'm a snail in a frog's body, every since I was a tadpole".
Hey guys will you please help me get out of this uncomfortable thing!
The longer you're married, the more you start to look like each other.
Listen Gladys - you want to move to that other pond - you realize we won't be near the kids anymore!
Now if I have the trajectory right I will land on the third lily pad to the left!
I'm going to hold you here until you tell me where the others are.
The deep purple of the plant makes the feet’s color just that much more vibrant
“Here, let me show you how it’s done” while junior sighs, looks down, and mutters “I know Dad, I know!”
Sorry to burst the bubble, but most of these shots are probably staged, and caused harm to the frogs. In photos like these - where frogs seem to be behaving in a way not natural to them - they have probably been glued to objects/other animals, held up by wires/hooks, etc (look at number 25 again, you can can see they’re held up by hooks around their hands/wrists). In shots with their mouths wide open…usually this only seen when the frog is in much distress (like being eaten by a snake). At the very least, the frogs have often been roughly handled and traumatised to get them in the ‘right’ position. Some of these frogs may even be dead.
Yeah, I don't think these frogs are ok - they don't sit up on their pelvises to relax like humans do
