Agalychnis saltator

Information about the Parachuting Red-Eyed Leaf Frog:

The Parachuting Red-Eyed Leaf Frog - also called the Misfit Frog - is a smaller frog, with adult males ranging from 34 to 54 mm and the larger females ranging from 57 to 66 mm. They are found in the tropical and subtropical rainforests of Costa Rica and Nicaragua. This frog is identified by its dramatic red eyes with vertical pupils, and its orange hands and feet. They have extensive webbing between the fingers and toes and large suction disks at end of each digit. Other than the size difference between the males and females, males develop a dark or black patch on the inside of the base of the thumb during mating season. This species closely resembles Agalychnis callidryas (red-eyed leaf frog) but with some differences. It has a uniform dark blue or purple flanks instead of vertical white, yellow, or cream bars found in the red-eyed leaf frog. Another difference is that Agalychnis saltator changes its color from uniform leaf-green during the day to tan or brown during the night, while the red-eyed leaf frog just change their hue.
