Dendrobates auratus, Green and Black Poison Frog


ISO 100 1/20 f/18 100mm
Barro Colorado Island, Panama 2007

Unlike most frogs this mildly toxic poison frog is active
during the day. Unless moving on the forest floor or
inside a treehole, these frogs are difficult to detect.
Notoriously unwilling to pose for the photographer,
their highly contrasting coloration also makes them
difficult to capture with a single exposure.

Wow, what a pretty little froggie! How was your trip to the island? Your photos are so terrific we will have to see about sending a collection to a stock agency this year!
