Orgie following the big rain: Red-eyed Leaf Frog, mass mating. This species only mates once or twice each year- unsually following the first big rain after the dry season. This event will cause thousands of frogs to decent from teh canopy and accumulate in ponds that serve as breeding grounds - an impressive frog orgie is the result andf when shooting it, I had mating frogs falling onto me and my camera. La Selva, Costa Rica. may 2005.
