This frog is so bright it looks like it’s on fire!! 😳🔥
This is Oophaga solanensis - a poison frog species endemic to the Choco region of Colombia. The Chocó Region is a lush strip of rainforest along Colombia’s Pacific coast and is famous for extreme rainfall, dense jungle, and some of the highest levels of biodiversity anywhere on the planet - including this incredible species! The colors are just so bright 🔥, and of course they are to warn predators that they’re toxic and to not eat them!

La Agalychnis callidryas, conocida como rana de ojos rojos, es uno de los anfibios más icónicos de las selvas tropicales de Centroamérica. 🌿🐸
Aunque sus colores parecen una señal de peligro, en realidad son una estrategia de defensa. Durante el día duerme completamente camuflada entre las hojas verdes, pero si un depredador la molesta, abre de golpe sus brillantes ojos rojos y muestra sus patas anaranjadas y azules. Este “susto” momentáneo desorienta al atacante el tiempo suficiente para escapar. 👀✨
Habita en bosques húmedos y suele encontrarse cerca de ríos o charcas, donde deposita sus huevos en hojas que cuelgan sobre el agua. Cuando las crías nacen, caen directamente al agua para continuar su vida como renacuajos. Un pequeño recordatorio de lo increíblemente ingeniosa que puede ser la naturaleza. 🌱💧

Costa Rica 🇨🇷
During the recording for our upcoming wildlife documentary our friend and guide @herping_expedition_cr found this absolute gem deep in the Costa Rican rainforest! 🌿🇨🇷
This is the Crowned Frog (Triprion spinosus), formerly known as the Coronated Treefrog.
Look at those unique spiky eyelids and that pointed crown-like shape—it’s like a tiny dinosaur!
So hard to spot, but so worth it. Nature is truly incredible. 🤯

An INCREDIBLY RARE and special frog found deep in the jungles of Colombia…
This is Oophaga sylvatica “Koi,” considered by many to be the holy grail of all poison frogs!! After hiking hours through the dense jungle & mud, dealing with snakes and bullet ants, and climbing steep terrain… you may be lucky enough to come across one of these amazing creatures!

Frog Friday!!
Rainforest days and nights in Costa Rica reveal an incredible diversity of frogs, from colorful poison frogs like Oophaga pumilio to iconic tree frogs such as Agalychnis callidryas.
Unfortunately, amphibians are among the most threatened animals on Earth. Habitat loss, climate change, pollution, pesticides, and diseases such as chytrid fungus have caused severe declines in many species worldwide.
Protecting forests, clean water, and natural habitats is essential if we want these remarkable animals to persist.
Have you ever encountered frogs like these in the wild?

Since the day I discovered macro photography I realized there was a whole new world to explore, full of beauty, only visible through my lens.
Choco toucan reserve & bird Lodge in Ecuador is also a paradise for macrophotography.
