Not-so-treefrogs - Central America
A collection of photographs to showcase some of the lesser known, but no less brilliant, "ground dwelling" frogs (though it's true that many of these species will readily take to climbing).
Included in this gallery is my favorite group- the rain/litter frogs. At first glance, most of these frogs appear as small brown flashes of movement along the trail side as they flee from our thudding footsteps, many of which are less than two inches in total length! It is my hope to show these often overlooked animals in a different prospective, a new light- and hope they will bring you as much joy as they bring me.
Enjoy,

Common Tink frogs (Diasporus diastema) show a broad diversity of color and pattern, though it is always easy to identify them based on the white lines just before the finger pads.
