Description

The listing, "Red Eyed Leaf Tree Frog" pastel 5x7 print has ended.

This exotic amphibian is probably toxic. I think all of them brightly colored abominations are tryin to kill us. They look so purty, but some deadly assassin knows how to poison a dart that starts with such a simple, green smile. Damn you, zombie kermit... No, just kidding, it has weak
toxins in its skin. No voodoo weapons.

The Leaf Frog lives from Mexico to eastern Panama. In Costa Rica it is found more prominently on the Caribbean coast, although there are some small populations in the lowlands on the Pacific side.
In the forest this frog hides among branches during the day and dry times. It is more active during the rainy season, making trips to breeding ponds at night. Instead of hopping or walking like frogs that spend a lot of time on the ground, this frog climbs hand over hand through the trees. The adhesive disks on its toes and fingers help the frog cling to surfaces that are entirely vertical; this species also has a toe joint that keeps the toe disk flat on a surface no matter how the frog positions its feet. This frog can even parachute, by spreading out its gangly limbs and large feet and dropping from higher perches to lower branches.

On nights in the early rainy season, the tree frogs descend to breed. Males call “chock” as they move from perch to perch, waiting for a female to approach. When she does, the male climbs onto her back in the amplexus position and she begins to carry him around as they look for a site for their eggs.

This print is five inches wide and seven inches tall.
It will be signed on the back side

The original, I did in pastel. We usually refer to pastels as "paintings" instead of "drawings" because they are a very pure pigment and fine art media... but they are actually a dry media, making the word "drawing" also appropriate. This print has been pretty popular this summer. Froggies are, like, totes adorbz. LOL
