We had a great time Jellis! It was a trip of a lifetime - & also a very belated honeymoon!

11 days touring the Galapagos by boat, 5 days in the jungle in the Yasuni National Park region, 1 day on a cloud forest reserve, plus 4 days of basically flying in & out of places!

Sounds like you had fun. Wish I could afford to go to places and see some of these spottings. They must look so much better in real life.

It was wonderful Ashley! I've another 100+ spottings to add from Ecuador & I've not even started on my Galapagos pics - I suspect it will take me months to add everything!

Thanks again Ashley - I have a ton of spottings from my recent adventures & so I'm deferring some the research I usually do to try & id species in the hope others can help me!
Jellis, it was an uncommonly large common bullfrom!
Gracias harsuame!

Very colorful. Too bad the Wiki says basically it's just a common bullfrog.

Thanks Jellis! Hopefully I can find a more definitive species for this - the guides were very knowledgeable but I'm having trouble reconciling local species names with the correct scientific ones.
