These frogs are called "Map Treefrogs" because the asymmetrical patterns on their back reminded someone of the contours of a map. They are large, impressive frogs. We woke this one up in order to get some photos of its big bulging eyes, but it quickly hunkered down into its "you can't see me" napping position.

I believe the mottled belly just visible here is enough to distinguish this large treefrog from its close relative Boana boans, which we also saw in vegetation around this same pond.
