This tadpole was fresh from the water. It’s an hourglass tree frog, also known as the pantless tree frog (I think I like the latter name better). I spotted the little guy on a night hike while in Pavones, Costa Rica.

That little one didn’t wait to lose its tail before sallying forth into the brave new world. Cool shot!
