Rainforest Rocket Frog What a great name, although this little frog is easily overlooked among the leaf litter in Central American Rainforests, especially in comparison to the outrageous colors of the poison arrow frogs that are also there.

    lol, that surely is one of the most awesome species names I've heard so far, although we have a lot of competition:

The Rainforest rocket frog

''Silverstoneia flotator'', the rainforest rocket frog, is a terrestrial, diurnal frog found in humid lowlands of Costa Rica and Panama. It is generally very common and therefore considered to be of least concern by the IUCN. The taxonomy is in need of a review, as it may consist of a complex of several species.
