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

Caption

Adult male Raorchestes chalazodes enters hollow internodes of the flute bamboo Ochlandra travancorica 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.
