Agalychnis callidryas
Very colorful, almost cartoonish tree frog, spotted in the Manual Antonio National Park in Costa Rica. At night, they come out to patrol for insects. Taking photos at night requires much patience...these guys can jump, and at times difficult to photo.
This spotting was in the Pacific Coast forest in Costa Rica. I have only spotted them in trees.

Great spotting!
Hey James! Indeed, I see we like the same subjects, nature is so amazing huh? Thank you for following, I am following you as well!
Nice series!!
So colourful.
Beauty !
Per Claudia's advice, I could not, after some investigation, disagree. This spotting was updated eliminating the third photo.
Claudia...thanks for the heads-up. Let me check it out. I was with a naturalist when these photos were taken, and I do not hold myself out as an expert. Stay tuned.
Hello, I believe the third photo shows a glass frog and not a red eyed tree frog. They are 2 different animals: http://amphibianrescue.org/2011/08/15/sm...
