Espectacular ejemplar, me pregunto: ¿cómo se logró la foto, si vive en la copa de los arboles? éso hace a la foto doblemente fantástica.

Congrats on an amazing photo, Jonathan. A well deserved Spotting of the Day!

"The stunningly beautiful Splendid Leaf Frog spends most its life in the rainforest canopy. Although spectacular and brightly colored, they are a rare species that is extremely difficult to observe in the wild."
