Poison Frog Porn, Part I: Colombia

Still being assembled and edited but definitely worth taking out for a test drive even if you haven't already gone poison frog gonzo. Mostly red and orange color morphs of Oophaga histrionica together with a few other newly-described species photographed in nature together with some studio test shots at the end.
