Red-eyed Tree Frog
Agalychnis callidryas · Sarapiquí · Caribbean lowlands, Costa Rica
The most reliable place to see the red-eyed tree frog in Costa Rica is humid Caribbean lowlands and foothills, including Sarapiquí, best May–Nov. Red-eyed tree frogs breed with the rains, gathering over water on warm humid nights and going hidden in the dry months — so a wet-season night walk is everything.
