The red-eyed leaf frog is a very popular amphibian species in Costa Rica. Most notable are its large red eyes with vertical pupils. Although its beauty lies in the combination of colors that make up its body. This set of photographs was taken in the La Fortuna region, in northern Costa Rica. Although this type of frog is a nocturnal animal, the photographs were taken during the day, at which time it takes the opportunity to rest camouflaged in the large leaves and in the thick jungle.
