The Glass Frog (Hyalinobatrachium fleischmanni) is a insectivore species found in Central and South American cloud forests. It typically lives 10-14 years, weighing around 0.002-0.003 kg, and is currently classified as Least Concern on conservation status lists.
One fact worth knowing about the glass frog: You can see their internal organs through their transparent bellies.
Amphibians live a double life, often starting in water as larvae before transforming to breathe air as adults. Frogs, toads, and salamanders are especially sensitive to environmental change, making them useful indicators of ecosystem health.
