BLUE JEAN /STRAWBERRY POISON DART FROG by ©Laura Quick

If there were an amphibian popularity contest...

“The Strawberry Poison-dart Frog, also called the Blue-jeans Frog, is one of the most ‘popular’ amphibians in its region. This bright, charismatic species is active during the day and has a high population density, making its charming figure frequently found in certain areas of Costa Rica. This frog reproduces all year long in areas without a long dry season, and males can be heard calling all day with a buzz or chirp. Their small bodies can be seen or sometimes heard moving around leaf litter as they walk and hop.” source

What surprised me is how tiny they are - their body is about the size of the “Post” button on Tumblr (+ leg extension)

Over The Edge by Judylynn Malloch

  This little blue jean frog was captured looking over the edge of a leaf. The tiny little frogs are found on the fauna in Costa Rica but are very small and are easily overlooked.
