Glass Frog

About 2.5 cm long, this frog has a translucid stomach so what you see is part of the intestines and the heart. It is considered an endangered species. The eggs are white and black, and found in a gelatinous mass suspended from the tip of a leaf. This kind of frog feeds on small insects, like flies crickets and tiny moths. This little frog has found this afternoon by my son very close to our house in San Jose.

Fun fact! Glass frogs are so named because of their semi-transparent skin, allowing a glimpse of their beating heart and other internal organs.
