Boophis pyrrhus
—
Red Bright-eyed Frog
Many Boophis species are diagnosed by their eye colors. This one is diagnosed pretty easily by its body color.
Here is a list of all the reptiles and frogs I saw on this 2023 trip to Madagascar.
In addition to being strikingly orange/red, these frogs also feature a coating of little dots. Frog freckles!
