<i>Raorchestes chalazodes</i> with Flute Bamboo

Caption

Adult male <i>Raorchestes chalazodes</i> enters hollow internodes of the flute bamboo <i>Ochlandra travancorica</i> where they vocalize to attract mates. It enters the bamboo with considerable resistance as the narrow openings are often less than 5 to 10 millimeters long and 3 to 4 millimeters wide.
