Smilisca Tree Frog (Smilisca phaeota) found in Limon Costa Rica
This Masked Smilisca Tree Frog was an excellent model. When I moved her from the bamboo to the lipstick palm, she clung on and waited for me to get the shot. I found her in a puddle surrounding the construction site. She had probably just laid about 2000 eggs, so if nature works as it should, there should be approximately 250 of these little guys jumping around soon. They are a common sighting in both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Costa Rica. They eat spiders. Another type of Smilisca frequently on the farm can be found at Baudin’s Tree Frog.
