Watching Planet Earth II in 4k but one segment blew me away .....glass frogs versus wasps.
Incredible adaptations ...the back of the male frog mimics the look of the eggs and the wasps are attracted to it.
He plays ninja dad.
In addition not shown here is the older tadpoles still in eggs can sense an attack by the wasps and hatch early and drop into the water.
Dad stays near the youngest to nail the wasps with those long agile legs. Ain't natur wonnerful
