I first though this glob on the underside of a leaf was an egg mass from a frog, maybe a centrolenid. I took a picture, and it appears that there is a caterpillar in the center. Is it alive?

First time sighting one of the classic frogs of Costa Rica: the red-eyed leaf frog, Agalychnis callidryas. Absolutely beautiful. My best guess for these dwellers is Diasporus diastema in the family Eleutherodactylidae. It was formally Eleutherodactylus diastema in Leptodactylidae… so maybe it’s a new family sighting for me! |
