Strawberry Poison Dart Frog (aka The Blue Jeans Frog)
The strawberry poison dart frog is common throughout its range in Central America. There are believed to be up to 30 different color variations of this frog — the most common being the blue jeans morph. Other than those smart blue trousers, another nice thing about these frogs is that they are active during the day, making non-flash photos possible. I came across this little guy in the forest leaf litter at a place called La Selva in Costa Rica. Nikon D200 with Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 lens (at 200mm) with Canon 500D close up filter attached, ISO 100, f/5.6 at 1/8th of a second
