The Red-eyed treefrog (Agalychnis callidryas), is probably one the most emblematic frog species of the tropics and of Costa Rica. Normally found in inhabit areas near rivers and ponds in rainforests and humid lowlands on the Atlantic slopes. They spend most of their time sleeping during the day under a leaf, and during the night, they are mostly arboreal, jumping from vine to vine and from tree to tree.
Yesterday I drove by the mailbox to retrieve the mail and this little guy jumped in my car totally startling me. I decided to delay my errand and turn around and pull in my garage to capture him which then prompted me to go inside to get my camera and take a few pictures......this is one from the collection. After posing for me for a while he jumped off and was on his marry way into my large Guacamole Hostas. Be safe my little friend.
This tree frog was on our privacy fence in the backyard and was resting midday in the shade. He held very still as I took a manual 10 shot stack with my Z9 and Nikon 200mm f4.
Wow! Made it all the way up to #12 on Explore. Go to show what I know about photography, I really did not think much about this shot.
The gray treefrog has “warty” green, brown or grey skin with large darker blotches on the back. Like many treefrogs, this species has large suction-cup-like toe pads. It has a white patch under each eye and is bright yellow-orange under the thighs.
