Identification and description:
The Pratt's Rocket Frog, scientifically known as Colostethus pratti, is a fascinating species from the Dendrobatidae family. It is primarily found in the humid tropical forests of Central and South America, particularly in Colombia and Panama. This small frog is usually brownish with lighter patterns on its back, allowing it to blend effectively into its natural surroundings. It is known for its high-pitched, repetitive calls, often heard during the rainy season. Although discreet, it plays a crucial role in the ecosystem as an insect predator. Its conservation is essential, as it is sensitive to environmental changes and deforestation.

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

Photography tips:
To photograph the Pratt's Rocket Frog, it is advisable to use a macro lens to capture the details of its skin and distinctive patterns. Approach slowly to avoid startling it, as it is suspicious. Natural morning or afternoon light is ideal to highlight its colors. Be patient and wait for it to settle on a leaf or branch to get a good angle. Use a tripod to stabilize your camera and avoid motion blur.
