Admire photos of three mischievous frogs all smiling while posing for the camera

Photographer Hendy Mp, based in Bharat Sambas, Kalimantan, Indonesia, has created a unique and impromptu photo collection called Flying Frogs.

Usually, this type of amphibian is not easy to spot for humans due to their ordinary appearance, but under the lens of this 25-year-old photographer, they suddenly become weird and cute.

Hendy stated that the photos were taken near his home when he unexpectedly discovered three flying frogs playing on a tree trunk.

He immediately thought of a scene with three playful siblings. ""They're constantly moving, changing positions, climbing, and jumping around. As I watched them, I felt like I was observing three mischievous brothers. One of them was even laughing, and I thought it was so adorable," said the photographer.

The green flying frog mainly inhabits Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand, and is listed as a species on the IUCN Red List.

This species is one of the factors that makes Hendy's photos unique since the opportunity to witness such a random moment may only occur once in a lifetime.

Elsewhere in Indonesia, photographer Muhammad Berkati also captured this adorable moment of a frog walking across a lawn.

I came across this special sight when I got up early that morning to go for a walk," Mohammad said. The frog hardly cared and just kept quiet while the butterflies circled above him. It looked like they were just sitting together."

This moment lasted for nearly three minutes. After teasing the bored frog, the butterfly finally flapped its wings and flew away, leaving the guy "cowardly" sitting on the branch.

It was an extremely lucky day for this butterfly. If it were in a different setting, it could have been eaten by the frog, as the main food of frogs are insects, including butterflies and spiders.
