Pristimantis gaigei
—
False Poison Frog
Also known as:
Gaige’s Rainfrog, Fort Randolph Robber Frog


The bright orange markings on this little frog make it look like a poison dart frog. Thanks to Mario Urriola of the El Valle Serpentarium for finding this frog, and preventing it from getting away before I got any photos (as happened with the previous two that he found).
