Ninja Frogs: Wildlife Photos of the Unseen

A frog peeking out of some algae in Costa Rica.

One of the native tree frog species that call these mountains home hitch-hiked on board one of my containerized tropical plants as I moved them into the greenhouse for the cold winter. Here, he (and others) consume mosquitoes and other pests all winter long. This one, and at least one other lives year round in my greenhouse, negating the need for toxic pesticides.
