Thanks to one photographer, we now have an incredible view of the mysterious glass frog species!
These little amphibians have translucent bodies and live in the rainforests of Central and South America. They are mostly nocturnal (active at night) and are extremely tiny (20 to 30 millimetres) in size.
Glass frogs are especially difficult to find because they live along streams that are almost impossible to access by foot. All of this makes Nic Reusens’ photography project even more impressive. He found and photographed the frogs using a pane of glass and a special flash to capture the natural “glass” effect of the frog’s body. As a result, the frog’s organs and bones are visible in the photos.
