  • Papua Wrinkled Ground Frog (Cornufer papuensis). Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1911406.jpg
  • Spanning nearly 8 million hectares, the Mamberamo Basin is a sparsely populated floodplain surrounded by mountains in central Papua. The vast expanses of swamp forest remain almost completely undisturbed, providing one of the last extensive habitats for many lowland species. Papua, Indonesia.
    cld1414279.jpg
  • Endemic to the mossy cloud forests of Papua, a Mountain Owlet-nightjar (Aegotheles albertisi) rests by the day in a thicket of vegetation. Biologists once believed that these strange cryptic birds (family Aegothelidae) were close relatives of the frogmouths due to their similar appearance and habits. Studies of their skulls has revealed that they are in fact more closely related to hummingbirds and swifts. Almost the entire family (7 of 10 species) is restricted to New Guinea. Arfak Mountains, West Papua, Indonesia.
    cld1608647.jpg
  • Longhorn beetle (Sphingnotus mirabilis). Waigeo Island, West Papua, Indonesia.
    cld1913729.jpg
  • Tree Frog (Litoria rubella). Wasur National Park, Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld06021813.jpg
  • Hikida's Forest Dragon (Hypsilurus hikidanus). Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld06060464.jpg
  • Wasp-mimicking moth (Xestocasis sp.). Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1912496.jpg
  • With over 60,000 currently recognized species (and perhaps double that still awaiting discovery), rove beetles (family Staphylinidae) are without a doubt the most diverse family of organisms on the planet. Most are relatively unnoticed because of their often diminutive size and secretive habits, but a few species such as this predatory one (Actinus imperialis) are larger and more colorful. Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1912528.jpg
  • Spotted Cuscus (Spilocuscus maculatus chrysorrhous), juvenile. Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld06060634.jpg
  • Lesser Bare-backed fruit Bat (Dobsonia minor), feeding on fig. Nimbokrang, Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1911385.jpg
  • Asian Toad (Duttaphrynus melanostictus), an introduced and invasive species in New Guinea. Nimbokrang, Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1912857.jpg
  • Leaf-like pygmy grasshopper (Holoarcus belingae). Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1911708.jpg
  • A damselfly (Coenagrionidae) feeding on a pygmy grasshopper (Tetrigidae) which it has caught during flight. Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1911223.jpg
  • Javan Cucumber (Alsomitra macrocarpa), vines bearing nearly ripe gourds which will soon release their winged seeds. Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1913661.jpg
  • Earth-boring dung beetle (Blackburnium rhinoceros), male. This unusual dung beetle is a member of the family Geotrupidae, often referred to as the earth-boring dung beetles. They are known for laying their eggs in burrows which are sometimes provisioned with leaf litter or dung. Wasur National Park, Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1715349.jpg
  • Almost indistinguishable from the branch on which it rests, a Papuan Frogmouth (Podargus papuensis) perches motionless next to its chick. Like other frogmouths, these birds scarcely build any nest at all and rely on camouflage to escape the detection of predators. Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1610331.jpg
  • This pitcher plant (Nepenthes neoguineensis) is endemic to New Guinea where it can be found on lateritic soils near the coast. Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1314453.jpg
  • The upper pitcher of an undrescribed carnivorous pitcher plant (Nepenthes sp.) from a remote mountain range in central New Guinea. Papua, Indonesia.
    cld1314828.jpg
  • The seldom seen Archbold's Nightjar (Eurostopodus archboldi) is endemic to the highest mountains of New Guinea, where it can be found in open alpine habitats. Like other nightjars it sleeps by day on the ground using excellent camouflage to conceal itself. West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1504731.jpg
  • Leaf insect (Phyllium zomproi), juvenile. Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1414071.jpg
  • Giant helmeted katydid (Siliquofera grandis), one of the world's largest katydids. Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1414039.jpg
  • Spinybacked Orbweaver (Thelacantha brevispina). Baliem Valley, Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1913510.jpg
  • This unidentified caterpillar which feeds on epiphytic moss, is camouflaged to look like its preferred substrate. Arfak Mountains, West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1609094.jpg
  • Rhododendron caespitosum, the world's smallest species of Rhododendron, growing on the trunks of tree ferns (Cyathea tomtosissima). Lake Habbema, Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1714589.jpg
  • A Giant Green Jumping Spider (Mopsus mormon) from the tropical forests of Waigeo Island. With its bright green legs and distinctive hairstyle, this species (the only in its genus) is easily recognizable among the many hundreds of jumping spiders (family Salticidae) in New Guinea. An enormous pair of frontal eyes give this little predator excellent vision to locate and size-up potential prey, and six flanking eyes allow it to detect movement in virtually every direction. West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1611612.jpg
  • The lower pitcher of an undrescribed carnivorous pitcher plant (Nepenthes sp.) from a remote mountain range in central New Guinea. Papua, Indonesia.
    cld1314811.jpg
  • Vogelkop Bowerbird (Amblyornis inornata). West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1313838.jpg
  • Terrestrial orchid (Plocoglottis moluccana). Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1610081.jpg
  • This beautiful stag beetle (Neolamprima adolphinae) is native to the mountains of New Guinea. The oversized mandibles distinguish this male. West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1504828.jpg
  • Widespread in New Guinea, this pitcher plant (Nepenthes maxima) exhibits a great diversity of pitcher forms and colors. Pictured here is a variety from the Anggi Lakes region of the Arfak Mountains. West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1413807.jpg
  • A wide swath of virgin rainforest cloaks the foothills of the Kobowre Mountains in western Papua. Indonesian New Guinea hosts some of the largest remaining tracts of primary tropical rainforest in the world.
    cld1413055.jpg
  • A juvenile Spotted Cuscus forages in a small tree for leaves and fruit at night. Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld06030667.jpg
  • A predatory Robber Fly (Cophinopoda sp.) waits on a blade of grass for passing insects. Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld06021402.jpg
  • With over 320 described species and probably as many more yet awaiting discovery, New Guinea hosts a staggering diversity of frogs. This unidentified tree frog (Litoria sp.) was photographed in the moss forest of a remote mountain in the northern Jayawijaya Range. Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1414044.jpg
  • Giant Prickly Stick Insect (Extatosoma popa). Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1414015.jpg
  • A Feline Owlet-nightjar (Aegotheles insignis) rests in a dense thicket of vegetation by day. This unusual family of nocturnal insectivorous birds, whose center of distribution is in New Guinea, is neither closely related to owls nor nightjars, and are placed in their own order. West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1313872.jpg
  • Although widespread in and eastern Australia, White’s Tree Frog (Ranoidea caerulea) is uncommon in New Guinea, being found only in the savannahs and subtropics of the extreme southern coast. This large frog, sometimes affectionately referred to as the Dumpy Tree Frog, has become popular in the pet trade due to its docile behavior. This “tameness” is likely due to the frog’s natural defenses: it can secrete a toxic compound from its skin when disturbed. While not dangerous to humans, this substance has been proven fatal to some insects and may be effective at protecting the frog from biting flies as well as larger predators. Wasur National Park, Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1715490.jpg
  • Picture-winged fly (Cleitamia sp., family Platystomatidae) with spider-like patterns on its wings to deter predation from spiders. Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1912704.jpg
  • Leaf beetle (Promechus whitei). West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1505925.jpg
  • Cup fungi (Cookeina sp.). Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1913021.jpg
  • Four-spined Spiny Orbweaver (Gasteracantha quadrispinosa). Nimbokrang, Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1911823.jpg
  • With a fleshy protuberance on its snout that can hang flaccid or stand stiffly straight, New Guinea’s long-nosed frogs are as bizarre in appearance as they are rare. The exact function of its elaborate rostral spike isn’t yet known, but being only found in the males it likely has something to do with mate selection. Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1912968.jpg
  • Magnificent Riflebird (Lophorina magnifica), male calling from display perch. Heard far more often than seen, these uncommon and extremely shy birds are responsible for the most quintessential sound of the Papuan rainforest. Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1912456.jpg
  • Wilson's Bird-of-paradise (Diphyllodes respublica), male courting female at his display ground. West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea)
    cld1821702.jpg
  • Brehm's Tiger-parrot (Psittacella brehmii). West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1820572.jpg
  • Pitcher plant (Nepenthes papuana). Digul River, Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1716444.jpg
  • Although widespread in and eastern Australia, White’s Tree Frog (Ranoidea caerulea) is uncommon in New Guinea, being found only in the savannahs and subtropics of the extreme southern coast. This large frog, sometimes affectionately referred to as the Dumpy Tree Frog, has become popular in the pet trade due to its docile behavior. This “tameness” is likely due to the frog’s natural defenses: it can secrete a toxic compound from its skin when disturbed. While not dangerous to humans, this substance has been proven fatal to some insects and may be effective at protecting the frog from biting flies as well as larger predators. Wasur National Park, Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1715485.jpg
  • Sugar Glider (Petaurus breviceps), feeding on sap of Acacia tree. Wasur National Park, Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1715344.jpg
  • Sundew (Drosera gracilis). Lake Habbema, Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1714854.jpg
  • With a flair for home decor, the Vogelkop Bowerbird (Amblyornis inornata) produces perhaps the most artful creation of any animal, all in the name of romance. Here, a male bird shows off his collection of freshly collected flowers, fungi, beetle shells, and blue berries, neatly organized in piles laid out on a mat of meticulously cleaned moss. The twig hut in the back is not a nest - rather its construction is made entirely for the purpose of impressing a visiting female who will choose to mate with him only after a thorough inspection of his display. Arfak Mountains, West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1713491.jpg
  • A deceptive beauty: this tiny epiphytic orchid (Dendrobium cuthbertsonii), which bears flowers that last for up to nine months and are larger than the entire plant itself, offers no nectar reward for visiting pollinators. However, it appears remarkably similar in appearance to nectar-rich Rhododendrons which have flowers the same color and size and grow nearby. West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1713694.jpg
  • With tail feathers nearly a meter long, a male Black Sicklebill (Epimachus fastosus) struts his incredible plumage on a display perch high in the Arfak Mountains of West Papua. One of the largest of all the birds-of-paradise, this shy sicklebill is found only in remote cloud forests on the island of New Guinea. Although normally keeping to the tree tops, the male carefully selects an exposed perch lower in the canopy from where he will call and display for females at dawn.
    cld1608771.jpg
  • This beautiful stag beetle (Neolamprima adolphinae) is native to the mountains of New Guinea. The oversized mandibles distinguish this male. West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1504812.jpg
  • The Spotted Cuscus (Spilocuscus maculatus chrysorrhous) is a widespread arboreal marsupial occurring in the lowland rainforests of New Guinea and northern Australia. It is solitary and nocturnal, feeding primarily on leaves and fruits. Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld06030771.jpg
  • Ginger (Hornstedtia cyathifera). Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1314311.jpg
  • Unlike New World Heliconia which are famous for their colorful bracts, this  species (Heliconia papuana) from New Guinea and the South Pacific are distinguished by their predominantly green inflorescences. Most are pollinated by nectar-feeding bats. West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1314165.jpg
  • Arfak Tree Frog (Litoria arfakiana) from the montane forests of Indonesian New Guinea. With nearly 300 species already described, and some estimates predicting at least double that amount awaiting discovery, the island is a hot spot for frog diversity. West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1313812.jpg
  • This unusual species of pitcher plant (Nepenthes klossii) bears a concealed opening to deceive insect prey. It is extremely rare, only growing in remote high elevaton swampy forests in New Guinea. Papua, Indonesia.
    cld1314255.jpg
  • A carefully arranged pile of Aeschynanthus flowers forms the centerpiece of a Vogelkop Bowerbird's (Amblyornis inornata) display. The elaborately constructed twig hut with various colorful ornaments (here including flowers, beetle elytra, and fruit husks) is constructed by the male solely for the purpose of impressing female birds to select him as a mate. Each male will use their own artistic preferences in selecting various colors for their display, and theft of highly desirable items by competitors is a frequent occurrence. West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1314004.jpg
  • Giant Banana (Musa ingens). Enormous trunks (c. 1m in diameter) of this giant wild banana which is endemic to the mountains of New Guinea. Although vegetatively the largest species of Musa, reaching over 15m in height, the fruits are small and inedible. West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1504595.jpg
  • Sepik Bent-toed Gecko (Cyrtodactylus novaeguineae). Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1716408.jpg
  • Water lillies (Nymphaea sp.) in Dogamit Lake. Wasur National Park, Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1715596.jpg
  • Corsia arfakensis, a rare mycoheterotrophic plant from the mountains of western New Guinea. West Papua, Indonesia.
    cld1713315.jpg
  • With the color blue being so rare in nature, it’s an obvious choice if you want to really stand out from the crowd. The incredible coloration of this Eupholus weevil from the rainforests of New Guinea probably warns of its toxicity to predators, but in fact it actually possesses no blue pigment at all. Tiny scales which cover the beetle’s shell contain three-dimensional photonic crystal structures that refract light in a similar fashion to that of an opal stone. Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1912557.jpg
  • Competition for mates can be fierce at choice breeding sites, especially when the season to raise young may be limited. Here, among the ferns over an ephemeral forest pool, a male Black-dotted Tree Frog (Litoria nigropunctata) (on the left) uses his hind legs to kick an amplexing rival male in an attempt to dislodge him from the back of the female. Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1912732.jpg
  • Modest Forest Dragon (Hypsilurus modestus). Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1912878.jpg
  • With a fleshy protuberance on its snout that can hang flaccid or stand stiffly straight, New Guinea’s long-nosed frogs are as bizarre in appearance as they are rare. The exact function of its elaborate rostral spike isn’t yet known, but being only found in the males it likely has something to do with mate selection. Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1912943.jpg
  • Hydnophytum caminiferum. A closeup look at the chimney-like openings along the tuber of this unusual shrub. Although most Hydnophytum are ant-plants (myrmecophytes), it is still unknown what insects (or animals) this species plays host to. West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1504885.jpg
  • It’s impossible for a single image to capture all of the multifaceted ornamentation of a male Magnificent Bird-of-paradise (Cicinnurus magnificus). Depending on the viewpoint and which of his assets he chooses to flaunt, his display can range from a brilliant metallic green breast plate to a golden yellow nape fan. The remarkable curled tail wires, which often appear black in color, flash an incredible turquoise when the angle is just right – a tool he often uses to bedazzle female visitors to his courting ground. Arfak Mountains, West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1820901.jpg
  • A bizarre jumping spider (Bathippus sp.) from the rainforest of southern New Guinea, bearing jaws longer than its entire body. The exact function of these seemingly ungainly appendages remains unknown, but they may perhaps serve as weapons in male-vs-male duels. Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1716230.jpg
  • Scarcely larger than your thumb, the Buff-faced Pygmy Parrot (Micropsitta pusio) is the world’s smallest parrot. Here, a mated pair peer out from their nest hole that they have excavated in an arboreal termite mound within the lowland rainforest of western New Guinea. Papua, Indonesia.
    cld1713024.jpg
  • This lowland rainforest in New Guinea is dominated by large Licuala fan palms. Papua, Indonesia.
    cld1609587.jpg
  • The remarkable feathered antennae of a Callirhipid cedar beetle (Callirhipis sp.) from the montane rainforests of New Guinea. Papua, Indonesia.
    cld1414158.jpg
  • A female giant shield bug (Lyramorpha cf. maculifer) exhibiting maternal care of her young nymphs. Like other shield bugs, tessarotimids utilize chemical defenses and are capable of squirting a caustic liquid when disturbed. Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1414030.jpg
  • The Magnificent Bird of Paradise (Cicinnurus magnificus) is restricted to New Guinea, where it occurs throughout the island in suitable hill forest. Male birds clear a personal display site near the forest floor where they put on an impressive display of their vibrant plumage for visiting females. West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1506025.jpg
  • The Magnificent Bird of Paradise (Cicinnurus magnificus) is restricted to New Guinea, where it occurs throughout the island in suitable hill forest. Male birds clear a personal display site near the forest floor where they put on an impressive display of their vibrant plumage for visiting females. West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1504762.jpg
  • The large tropical island of New Guinea hosts a high diversity of cicada species, such as this Baeturia sp., many of which are endemic to small regions. Batanta Island, West Papua, Indonesia.
    cld1313612.jpg
  • The Spotted Cuscus (Spilocuscus maculatus chrysorrhous) is a widespread arboreal marsupial occurring in the lowland rainforests of New Guinea and northern Australia. It is solitary and nocturnal, feeding primarily on leaves and fruits. Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld06030745.jpg
  • With their spring-loaded jaws capable of snapping shut at over 200km/h, trap-jaw ants (Odontomachus sp.) have some of the fastest predatory strikes in the animal kingdom. However, this isn’t their only weapon: they also possess a powerful wasp-like sting that can either subdue prey or serve as an effective deterrent against any animal foolish enough to disturb their nest. There are over 70 species distributed throughout the tropics, shown here is one of the largest: O. tyrannicus from the steamy lowland jungles of New Guinea, its mandibles retracted and ready to strike. Papua, Indonesia.
    cld1911769.jpg
  • Magnificent Bird-of-paradise (Diphyllodes magnificus), male calling from his display ground, showing the bright yellow inside of his mouth. West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1820928.jpg
  • Weevil (Arachnobas sp.) with mites. Waigeo Island, West Papua, Indonesia.
    cld1913955.jpg
  • Stonefish (Synanceia sp.). West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1413827.jpg
  • Spider katydid (Paraphisis sp.), female with spermatophore. Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1504397.jpg
  • Brown Tree Snake (Boiga irregularis), juvenile. Mamberamo Basin, Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1414287.jpg
  • The incredible vibrance of many Birds-of-paradise is in part due to the deep black feathers which make their more colorful plumage simply ‘pop’. A recent study looking closely at these black feathers found that they had a unique nanostructure that is super-efficient in light absorption. This results in one of the darkest blacks found in nature, rivaling those of highly specialized synthetic materials. Here, a Vogelkop Superb Bird-of-paradise (Lophorina niedda) waits at his display (a fallen log) for the arrival of a female. West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1820064.jpg
  • Endemic to New Guinea, the Hook-billed Kingfisher (Melidora macrorrhina) is a true forest species, preying on lizards, frogs, and large insects. Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1610465.jpg
  • Camouflaged moth (Ausaris sp.). West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1611124.jpg
  • Primarily restricted to New Guinea, helmeted katydids (subfamily Phyllophorinae) are readily distinguished from others by the large shield-like process which extends over the front part of their body and is frequently armed on the sides with sharp spines. Also, in a family of insects which are famous for their ubiquitous calls, these katydids stand apart for the inability to sing. Lacking the typical sound-producing apparati of most katydids, the method by which females and males of these species are able to find each other at night in the tangled rainforest understory remains a mystery. Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1610073.jpg
  • Tiger beetle (Therates sp.). Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1609683.jpg
  • Inhabitants of cool mountain streams, Big-eyed Tree Frogs (Nyctimystes spp.) are nearly entirely restricted to the island of New Guinea (with a few species in Australia and the Moluccas). This species is endemic to the Arfak Mountains of western New Guinea. West Papua, Indonesia.
    cld1609079.jpg
  • Superbly camouflaged, this lichen huntsman spider (Pandercetes gracilis) lies in wait for prey on the trunk of a tree in the Arfak Mountains of New Guinea. West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1506384.jpg
  • Hydnophytum caminiferum. A closeup look at the chimney-like openings along the tuber of this unusual shrub. Although most Hydnophytum are ant-plants (myrmecophytes), it is still unknown what insects (or animals) this species plays host to. West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1504886.jpg
  • Broad-headed bugs (Riptortus sp.), juveniles showing mimicry of Oecophylla weaver ants. West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1821021.jpg
  • Masked Bowerbird (Sericulus aureus) male repairing his bower after it was destroyed by a rival bird. West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1823466.jpg
  • Pygmy Longbill (Oedistoma pygmaeum), a nectar-feeding bird showing convergent evolution with sunbirds and honeyeaters, but part of the New Guinean endemic family Melanocharitidae. West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1821079.jpg
  • One of the most brilliantly colored of all the bowerbirds, the Masked Bowerbird (Sericulus aureus), prepares only a rather simplistic 'U-shaped' avenue of sticks which is adorned with several leaves and blue-berries. The extravagance of bowerbird displays appears to be inversely proportional to the gaudiness of their plumage. West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1823329.jpg
  • Orchid (Dendrobium angiense). The genus Dendrobium reaches its greatest diversity in New Guinea, where about 560 species (over a third of the genus) have so far been recorded. Arfak Mountains, West Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1314152.jpg
  • The only member of its genus, the Plum-faced Lorikeet (Oreopsittacus arfaki) is endemic to the montane cloud forests of New Guinea. Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1715240.jpg
  • A species of bent-toed gecko (Cyrtodactylus cf. mikianus) from the Mamberamo Basin in western New Guinea. Papua, Indonesia.
    cld1414319.jpg
  • Uplifted by the collision of continents, the jagged limestone peaks of New Guinea’s Central Range rise to nearly 5000 meters in height. The alpine vegetation of these remote mountain ridges and valleys are home to a rich assortment of endemic plants and animals, many of which are new to science. Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
