I am not at all sure that this is K. rugifera since it is not reported from Dali, but comparing calls and colouring, it is my nearest guess. Found mating in a roadside ditch next to a paddy field. Dali, Yunnan.

I found this hopping out into the road from my yard at night, no doubt intent on traveling to a breeding pool. (I've been hearing them the last couple of days in little puddles in yards.) I captured it and placed it on a stage for photography--in this case, a piece of craft foam. I do not see them in the open during the day--they always seem to be under something. Even when calling during the day, they seem to be under cover.This one is much plumper than ones I've seen previously--perhaps a female full of eggs! Length was just over an inch--25-30 mm, perhaps, a bit larger than some others I have found.Update:
Frogs and Toads of Georgia mentions that they are sexually dimorphic--males with a dark throat. That looks to agree with what I see based on the size and body shape--the one below in my comment, for instance was smaller, and does seem to have a darker throat--probably a male.

I found this little (27 mm body length) toad out on a wet road at night. They breed during summer rains, and are fairly common in my area, but a bit difficult to find. It was captured and posed for these photos. They are so funny--they do not jump, but attempt to burrow wherever they are placed. The specimen was returned to its original site the next evening.A good link:

Gastrophryne carolinensis--found under a landsapce timber in my yard. This one is actually in place after I rolled the timber. It was very placid, and allowed a number of shots before hopping off. I've found a couple of these under bark or logs in my yard this spring--seems to have been a good year for them. Diffused natural light + flash fill.
