I have just put up a Costa Rican little red frog from my backlog of pics... would appreciate your or anybody else's help with ID!

Thanks Matthew! The blue legs did me in... Happy to be educated! Is the granular one also of the Oophaga genus?

No, Daniele, the Strawberry frog is only on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica. This is a granular frog found on the Pacific side...though they are very similar in coloration, the granular has a rough texture, as Laura stated. The little guy keeps hanging around my waterfall...

You are right Laura! Incredible frog!

Wow, that's really cool. What a bright little guy! Beautiful shade of red :) And an interesting skin texture, I can see why he's called a granular poison dart frog!
