I spotted 11 green and black poison dart frogs during my 10 days at La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica. Most of them were spotted on one trail, so my last day there I hiked it for the third time and I got lucky and saw 4 more.

Congratulations on the nomination. I have just seen caged ones! How lucky you were.
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
Thanks Leuba!

Thanks! You'll definitely see them in Costa Rica!
