Stomper Delphine is back with another wildlife interaction.

A four-lined tree frog paid her a visit to her workplace at Marina South Pier on the morning of June 18.

Delphine, who works at the Singapore Island Cruise & Ferry Services ticket counter, shared photos and videos of the common tree frog (Polypedates leucomystax).

She said: "The frog was already at the poster when I arrived for work at 8am."

The four-lined tree frog gets its name from the four distinct stripes often found on its back. According to the National Parks Board (NParks), this species of frog can take various shades of brown, grey, and, like this particular frog, yellow.

Delphine tried to lure the frog away from the wall using a plastic lid, but it jumped onto the ticket counter-top.

In one video clip, the frog can be seen sitting at the edge of the counter, with a facial expression Delphine described as "full of smiles."

She eventually managed to get the frog onto the lid, and set it free in a grassy area near Marina South Pier MRT Station Exit B.

Delphine thanked the frog: "Thank you for brightening my Wednesday morning!"

Stomp previously reported on Delphine's sighting of a collared kingfisher that landed on her ticket counter in May.
