Not to be a huge herp nerd but in Lbfad, they’ll occasionally have a frog chorus going in the night time nature scenes and they could very well be using East Asian frog calls (I know almost nothing about the herpetofauna of east Asia, let alone their frog calls) but it sounds like Pseudacris crucifer and Pseudacris maculata and so each time I’m like 👁👄👁 show me them

#it’s distracting #i get why birders get pretentious about bird calls in movies #unfortunately I only know the calls of midwestern US frog species #this spring I’ll hopefully be familiarized with some southeastern species that I haven’t seen a lot of yet #crucifer and maculata gave us some trouble this summer tho let me tell ya #it would always be dry and we’d be on a public road surrounded by private property #with maculata juusssttttt calling in the distance #plus I’m great at spotting frogs when they’re on land even if they’re very very tiny #but the second they’re in the water it’s like game over for me #and we encountered maculata in the water so often #they’re itty little guys #i would know it would be right in front of my face but I still couldn’t see the damn thing #okay I’m done flexing my frog muscles #love between fairy and devil #by yours truly the omelette of cheese
