A Caribbean frog, the whistling frog, lays fairly large eggs that are hidden in moist areas beneath organic material. Here...

Here are a few examples of the diversity in attraction methods that have evolved from colour, to smell to sound. 1 Picker M, Griffiths C, Weaving A. 2002. Field Guide to Insects of South Africa.
