This good-looking little frog is an Arum Lily Frog. Her best feature is her feet, which she tucks in underneath herself when perched inside an Arum lily so as not to ruin her disguise. Her scarlet toes and feet would stand out like a pair of Jimmy Choos and give away her hiding place if she didn't tuck them away discreetly. Effortless elegance!

This is Lobostemon fruticosus, the Eight-day curebush, which is a medicinal plant whose leaves can be crushed into a poultice for covering wounds to prevent or even clear infection.
