Sheet of 20 x $2.90 Archey's Frog stamps.
Archey’s frog is our smallest native frog. They live on land in the forests across the Coromandel Peninsula, and the Whareorino Conservation Area. Males brood small clutches of eggs until they hatch as froglets, entirely skipping the free-living tadpole stage.
This stamp issue highlighted the conservation efforts protecting Aotearoa New Zealand's unique pepeketua - Leiopelma frogs. Click here to find out more.
