Cusuco bromeliad frog (Isthmohyla melacaena)
These secretive little frogs spend a large proportion of their lifetime in bromeliads, where they breed. They often reside in bromeliads high off the ground, and are therefore much more frequently heard than seen. After hearing the unmistakable calls of the frog nearby, we were lucky to find this individual sitting in a bromeliad about 3-4 metres off the ground on a steep slope.
This frog is endemic to Cusuco National Park.
Location: Cusuco National Park, Sierra del Merendón, Honduras, Central America
