More Far North smalls. Although introduced from AU, this Ranoidea aurea | green & golden bell frog is 1st 🐸 we’ve spotted in the “wild” at Waitangi Treaty Grounds (📷1). Dicathais orbita | cart-rut shell, a predatory sea snail, at Hendersons Bch (📷2). Rare Naultinus grayii | Northland green 🦎 gecko, captive at Gumdiggers Park (📷3), where an ancient insect (mosquito?) is entombed in kauri gum (📷4).
