The granular poison frog is also known as the green jeans frog (for fairly obvious reasons). It’s found only in Costa Rica and Panama in a relatively small range. Habitat loss in that range has landed the frog on the vulnerable to extinction list. I found this one near a waterfall in Pavones, Costa Rica. Nikon D200 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (with Nikon 1.7x teleconverter attached for 340mm) ISO 100, f/8 at 6 seconds.
I don’t know why frogs have been used as a symbol of ugliness, because this one sure is beautiful. Imagine if a Princess were to kiss HIM what a handsome Prince he would become! Great photo Craner!
If you kissed this frog, things would get real serious real fast. He’d move in before you were ready, but you wouldn’t say anything because most of the time he validates you so well. But then he’d start making nasty comments about your friends and expecting you to join in. He’d always forget to pay his half of rent. He’d urge you both to join a gym, saying it could be a nice couples thing you do to together, then he would never go but he would always expect you to go, which of course makes you feel horrible about your body. He knows about your thigh issues and he’s using it against you. And of course, when you get into a fight – it seems like you do every Thursday night nowadays, like clockwork – he always says, “What did you expect from me? I’M POISON!!!!!”
