I'm loaded with poison dart frogs, mostly the green and black one (Dendrobates auratus) and the blue jeans poison dart frog (Dentrobates pumilio). But, every once in a while on my southern pacific coast property, I'll run into a Golfo Dulce poison dart frog. Once common, or at least that's what I'm told, these guys are scarce now. There's a waterfall that they tend to like and that's where I usually see them.
One day I caught this male and while filming it with my little point-and-shoot digital Nikon camera I noticed that it had seven tadpoles clinging to its back.

Mike,
Really appreciate your comments on my paulocostarica blog.
Those are absolutely stunning frog pictures. The color is so vivid, and it is amazing to see those tadpoles.
Do you have any other photos out on the net? Costa Rica definitely has a wealth of subjects, and you take great pictures.
