EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of a Strawberry poison frog, also known as Oophaga pumilio. Perched delicately on a vibrant green leaf, this small amphibian exhibits its striking blue jeans color morph. Found abundantly across Costa Rica and Panama, this particular species boasts up to thirty other color variations. Measuring around 2 centimeters in length, the Strawberry poison frog thrives amidst the leaf litter of lowland forests and plantations. Its bright red hue serves as a warning sign to potential predators due to its toxic nature. Feeding primarily on ants and beetles, this arboreal creature navigates through its habitat with remarkable agility. The photograph captured by Nicolas Reusens from Science Photo Library encapsulates the essence of these brightly colored amphibians that belong to the Dendrobatidae family. With their intricate patterns and vivid hues, they are truly a sight to behold in South American and Central American rainforests. This image not only highlights the biological diversity found within our natural world but also provides an insight into herpetology – the study of reptiles and amphibians. It is a testament to the wonders of nature's palette and reminds us of how intricately intertwined we are with these fascinating creatures that call our planet home.
