Description
It goes without mentioning that this picture is dedicated to the fantastically awesome frog lover `AshleyxBrooke
Check out her great gallery and group, #iPhotograph !This fantastic glass frog (Vitreorana antisthenesi, family Centrolenidae) was on a leaf on the riverside. I was thrilled to finally see one!
I'm really, really happy at how the new diffuser is working. I particularly enjoy the round reflections, instead of the square ones of my previous diffusers, or the two opposed arcs of my ring flash.
*This fine specimen was identified as Vitreorana antisthenesi by Juan Pablo Diasparra

That is an awesome frog. I am going to try and take pictures of the 17 year cicada when they come out this summer.

Yes, the expedition was to collect a set number of a specific group of butterflies, so we left everything else. We did take lots of pictures, though.

I only collect specimens if there's a scientific reason for it. In this case, it was to help a researcher with a biogeographical/phylogenetic study of certain families of butterflies.

Wow, great shot!
I read 'grass' at first, instead of 'glass'

Haha, these are called glass frogs because in some species the underside is transparent, allowing you to see the internal organs.
