Esquinas Rainforest Lodge, Golfito region, Puntarenas province, Costa Rica

These medium-sized frogs were indeed quite common around the lodge. This one was perched on a bowling-ball-sized rock along one of the footpaths on the lodge grounds.
This frog was photographed on a herping trip with GreenTracks. Here is a complete list of the species we found on this GreenTracks trip.

I found this small frog at night on a leaf near the pond where Lorenzo the Caiman hung out.
I had originally identified this frog as Eleutherodactylus caryophyllaceus. However, Gerardo Chaves from the Zoology Museum of the University of Costa Rica later wrote to tell me that he could tell from the small yellow dots in the leg and absence of calcar tubercle that this is really E. fitzingeri. Here is a complete list of the species we found on this GreenTracks trip.
