Identification and description:
The Silverstoneia dalyi, commonly known as Daly's Rocket Frog, is a small, brightly colored frog native to the humid rainforests of South America, particularly Colombia. It is characterized by its small size, usually less than 2 cm, and its vibrant color patterns ranging from brown to green with black markings. This species is often found near streams where it breeds. Although discreet, it plays a crucial role in the ecosystem as an insect predator. Its skin secretes toxic substances to defend against predators. Daly's Rocket Frog is an important indicator of habitat health, as it is sensitive to environmental changes.

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

Photography tips:
To photograph Daly's Rocket Frog, it's advisable to use a macro lens to capture the details of its colorful skin. Look for it near streams in humid rainforests. Be patient and discreet to avoid scaring it, as it is suspicious. Opt for times of the day when natural light is soft to avoid glare on its moist skin. Use a tripod to stabilize your camera and achieve sharp images.
