Identification and description:
Boana latistriata, commonly known as the Cope's Eastern Paraguay Treefrog, is a species of amphibian in the Hylidae family. It is primarily found in the humid tropical forests of South America, particularly in Brazil. This frog is distinguished by its broad, dark lateral stripes that contrast with its green skin. It is generally nocturnal, feeding on insects and other small invertebrates. Its ability to adhere to vertical surfaces with its adhesive toes allows it to move easily in its arboreal habitat. Although its conservation status is concerning, it is still relatively widespread in some areas.

Recommended lens:
Macro – adjust based on distance, desired framing (portrait or habitat), and approach conditions.

Photography tips:
To photograph the Cope's Eastern Paraguay Treefrog, it is advisable to use a macro lens to capture the details of its skin and distinctive stripes. Shooting at night with soft lighting can help avoid unwanted reflections on its moist skin. Be patient and wait for the frog to settle on a leaf or branch to achieve a natural and aesthetically pleasing background.
