Friends, I'm going on a social media hiatus until I finish my children's book. I will still be making a creature a day but will wait until I'm done to post them. So the last one for now... Creature 60: Polka-dot tree frog. Widespread in South America in forests, swamps and marshes. Earlier this month scientists discovered the frog was naturally fluorescent. The first frog to be identified with this trait. #frog #frog🐸 #fluorescentfrog #newdiscoveries #treefrog #polkadottreefrog #🌳🐸#draweveryday #dailyfauna #wildlifeillustration #goauche #glow #flourescent

Creature 59: Ranitomeya amazonica a type of poison dart frog. They live mostly in bromeliads (pineapple-esque) plants in the Amazon rainforest. #dailyfauna #ranitomeya #poisondartfrog #goauche #frog🐸 #frog #🐸 #Amazon #herpetology #wildlifeillustration

Creature 57: Hi ho, Kermit the frog here. Diane's bare-hearted glass frog was recently discovered in the rainforests on the Caribbean cost of Costa Rica. It took scientists a long time to discover it because it's call sounds more like an insect than a frog. It is larger than life on Instagram - in real life they are just under 1" long. I hope they soon discover that this frog secretly befriends forest pigs. #dailyfauna #dianesbareheartedglassfrog #glassfrog #talamancamountain #kermitthefrog #kermit #reallifekermie #newspecies #goauche #🐸 #🐸🐷
