The red-eyed tree frog (Agalychnis callidryas) — a jewel of Costa Rica’s rainforests — is instantly recognizable by its vibrant green body, bright red eyes, and orange toes. Active at night, these arboreal frogs perch on leaves near ponds and streams, where females lay clutch after clutch of egg masses above water. When threatened, their sudden flash of red eyes and colorful sides can startle predators long enough for the frog to leap to safety. Widely sought by nature photographers and wildlife lovers, the red-eyed tree frog embodies the lush, biodiverse spirit of Costa Rica and serves as a vivid reminder of the importance of preserving tropical habitats.
