Red-eyed Tree Frogs (Agalychnis callidryas) photographed in the wild in the jungles of Costa Rica and Panama.

The Bocas del Toro archipelago of Panama has a fantastic diversity of poison dart frogs. The Strawberry Poison Dart frog (Oophaga sp.), in particular, shows many color morphs that are geologically isolated on small islands. Unfortunately, the lethal amphibian chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) is spreading across Central America and wiping out entire populations of frogs. We have been geotagging our images to give precise locations of where we photographed these frogs.

Poison Dart Frogs are diurnal, usually brightly colored frogs of the family Dendrobatidae that are found in Central and South America. About one-third of the known species of dendrobatids secrete powerful toxins from dermal granular (poison) glands. Three of these poisonous species were used by the Embera people of western Colombia to poison their blow-gun darts for hunting. We have a good image collection of both captive-raised dart frogs as well as dart frogs photographed in the wild.
