Have you been researching the ecology of R. attenuata for a long time?
No, this discovery happened by chance. Some years ago, I began studying the defensive behaviors of various insect species that live in farmland areas. Up until now, I have provided frogs with over 50 insect species to investigate their defenses against frogs. I place a frog and an insect in a plastic case and observe their interaction. Frogs can catch insects with their tongues in the blink of an eye. In order to investigate what kind of defense mechanism the insect used, and to confirm whether it was eaten or managed to escape, I film this interaction and then play it back in slow motion.
