I should, but that will be very soon and I'm not sure I have time to plan it!
i love trying to identify frogs, and ive made progress, for example i can usually tell if a frog is in the families of ranidae (obviously) hylidae and bufonidae, as those are the ones in my area. but i find it quite hard after outside of those families. i feel like just sort of memorizing what families have which attributes is a bad way of going about it, so do you have any tips to narrow down types of frogs, or what i could look into and research about it? i feel like you may have answered this before but i couldn’t find it in your FAQ
