There were lots of Amboli bush frogs in the area we stayed in Agumbe. We were surrounded by loud calls.. But spotting them is a different story..We found 3 pairs of Amboli bush frogs in amplexus. All of them were found on the ground.The calling males were perched on leaves. 1 male was slowly approaching this pair in amplexus.I found 1 male just observing another pair in amplexus from 3 inches away. He never made a move. Their agreement seemed to work ;-DThe female would occasionally move with the male on its back. But nothing much happened that night.
Adult from the Cuchumatanes, Guatemala.This group of frogs specialize on bromeliads, where they lay their eggs and tadpoles develop. This adult was found inside of a bromeliad.
