I want to share with all of you what I found 2 nights ago, these little frogs Golden groin rainfrog (Eleutherodactylus cruentus)were mating, tight now is the rainy season in Costa Rica and when you hike at night you can hear every night the males singing and singing they are trying to get the female´s attention, well at the end one of these will be the lucky one.

Well something about the bioloy of the rainfrog, they are really hard to find, 100% sure you will hear them at night or during the cloudy days, but to find a frog which is from 2cms to 7cms or around 1 inch, its hard. One of the most known in Costa Rica is called Dink or Tink frog which has a metalic hammering sound but most of the frog time is inside of the bromeliads waterponds.

Enjoy it the picture...
Regards michael
