Green and Black Poison Dart Frog (Dendrobates auratus) on a leaf in the rainforest, Costa Rica

---

The Green and Black Poison Dart Frog is native to Central America and some parts of South America. These tiny frogs can measure around 20mm. Taking this image was a challenge while the little frog kept jumping around. I like the blurred background due to the shallow depth of field used, the deep green of the leaves and the intense turquoise color of the frog which contrasts with its black spots. This image was taken in Sarapiquí, Costa Rica.
