Veined tree frog (Trachycephalus venulosus) - San Martin Department, Peru

 

Although this species can be quite common it took a while for me to find my first one in the Peruvian jungle. Perhaps because this species is more common in disturbed habitat than pristine jungle. I was attempting to photograph this individual when it ducked underneath this small vine in an attempt to hide or get away, completely ineffectual as far as hiding goes but it gave me the opportunity to get an interesting image. Another name this species goes by is milk frog due the sticky white mucus is discharges when bothered by potential predators.
