Gephyromantis pseudoasper

Gephyromantis pseudoasper, also known as the Massif Madagascar frog, is a species of frog in the family Mantellidae. It is endemic to northern Madagascar.[1][2] It occurs in both pristine and degraded rainforests and in secondary vegetation at elevations up to 900 m (3,000 ft) above sea level. It can be found both on the ground and in trees. Breeding takes place in streams.[1]

The advertisement call of the species is an energetic, high-pitched series of notes, emitted often in the early hours of the morning.

gollark: I found a program which does similar multicasting-y stuff and works fine, but I don't understand what it's actually doing because it's in a very different language with different semantics.
gollark: It's possible that I have some fundamental misunderstanding of how to make the networking stack happy with all this, but the examples I found did basically the same stuff so WHO KNOWS.
gollark: It's going onto my pile of "abandoned until I can find a non-eldritch way to do this" things.
gollark: "Interesting" and highly cursed: Google appear to have implemented some sort of horrible BASIC-y language encoded in YAML for "cloud workflows": https://cloud.google.com/workflows/docs/reference/syntax
gollark: I don't really know about the details at all, but I think the way it works is that when you observe one end, it collapses into one of two random states, and the other one collapses into the other. Or something vaguely like that.
