Crowned Treefrog
Anotheca spinosa · Caribbean foothills, Costa Rica
The most reliable place to see the crowned treefrog in Costa Rica is the Caribbean foothill forest, where it breeds in water-filled tree holes and bromeliads, best May–Nov. A localised, crown-spined treefrog that breeds in water-filled cavities — found on wet-season night walks at the right sites, so it’s local knowledge and timing, not a year-round bet.
