Morelet's Treefrog
I took this shot of a Morelet's Treefrog (Agalychnis moreletii) in the Columbia River Forest Reserve in southern Belize, while on an expedition to look for rare cycads in sinkholes and caves. We found 14 of these frogs and they were breeding, we found 2 clutches of eggs and a very pregnant female. This one was sleeping and we could easily see the reticulated palpebral membrane (mesh-like eyelid found in Agalychnis species). It was super cool!
It's a critically endangered frog, so it was great to find this population.
