Identification and description:
The White-edged Tree Frog, Boana albomarginata, is a species of tree frog found mainly in the humid tropical forests of South America. It is recognizable by its bright green coloration and distinctive white edges along its limbs and body. This species is generally active at night, feeding on insects and other small invertebrates. It prefers habitats near water bodies, where it can easily reproduce. Males call to attract females during the rainy season. Although this species is not currently threatened, deforestation and habitat loss pose potential risks to its population.

Photography tips:
To photograph the White-edged tree frog, it is advisable to use a macro lens to capture the details of its skin and distinctive white edges. Approach slowly to avoid startling it, as it is suspicious. Focus on nighttime hours, as it is more active at night. Use a soft flash to avoid disturbing its natural environment. A tripod can be helpful to stabilize your camera in the low-light conditions of the rainforest.
