Emerald Glass Frog
Espadarana prosoblepon · Caribbean foothills · Sarapiquí, Costa Rica
The most reliable place to see the emerald glass frog in Costa Rica is forested foothill and mid-elevation streams, including Caribbean foothills near Sarapiquí, best May–Nov. Glass frogs are tiny, green, and nocturnal, calling from the undersides of leaves over running water in the rains — they demand the right night, the right stream, and a careful ear.
