Red-Eyed Frog

Red-eyed tree frogs are easily recognizable. 

They depict the rare and precious creatures that inhabit the rainforest. 

For these amphibians, their striking forms are much more practical. 

The red-eyed tree frog's neon-green bodies, large orange webbed feet, 

and bulging scarlet eyes act as a detour for predators. 

Known as 'startle coloration', birds and snakes seeking their next meal may pause

 when seeing them, which allows for a safe escape. 

During the day, the red-eyed frog stays out of sight and asleep beneath leaf bottoms. 

At night, it hides in the canopy and will ambush insects with its long, sticky tongue. 

Since frogs are amphibians, they are sensitive to the health of both land and water. 

Therefore, they are a natural bioindicator for the health of the rainforest. 

Although frogs have been around for millions of years, 

current environmental stressors have seriously affected their population. 

They are showing signs of deformities and mutations and are dying off in record numbers.  

Just as frogs cannot withstand a toxic environment, 

you also need to release emotions that can negatively impact your life. 

The frog essence prompts you to take care of yourself. 

Be aware of the kind of air you are breathing and the nutrition in the food that you eat. 

The conditions in which you live can make all the difference in the quality of your health.  (S. Finelli)
