See-Through Frogs, Alien Salamanders, and Spiny Bugs...Oh My

[earthfrog]

I heard a joke on this board about extra-terrestrials-----this hits a little too close to home for that, joke or not----check it out!
This article shows us three new, strange species that Conservation International is managing---really neat discoveries!

They're surprisingly close to where my Imis call home:

Hard to tell from the small photo, but are they sure that's a new species of dart? It looks like a conglomeration of several histrionicus morphs to me. Might just be a new morph. Still pretty, though.

Don't really know---guess you'd have to ask the conservation group. Very pretty, I agree.

Really nice pics, I like the see-through frog and the pdf carring its tad.

I don't think it's a histo. It is a very cool looking frog though. Some of those insects are pretty cool as well. And that salamander is just bizarre.
