Froggy Friday: Red-eyed tree frog in Sarapiquí

The red-eyed tree frog has become a Costa Rican icon as a result of its ubiquity and beauty. They are nocturnal, so your best chance to spot one is after the sun sets — if you can handle the rainforest at night.

Tico Times reader Megan M. captured this photo during a nighttime walk in Sarapiquí, Heredia.
