Glass frog eggs
Glass frog eggs. Close-up of the eggs of a glass frog (family: Centrolenidae) on a leaf. Like all amphibians, frogs require water for their reproductive stage. The eggs seen here are laid above a water source, and after hatching the tadpoles will be washed down into the water where they will develop into frogs. Photographed in lowland rainforest in the Choco Biological Region, Ecuador

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate and fascinating world of glass frog eggs. Captured in the lush lowland rainforest of Ecuador's Choco Biological Region, these translucent orbs rest gently on a vibrant green leaf. The intricate details of these eggs come to life as we observe their placement above a water source, highlighting the crucial role that water plays in the reproductive cycle of amphibians. As members of the Centrolenidae family, glass frogs rely on this aquatic environment for their developmental journey. Once hatched, tiny tadpoles will be carried by nature's gentle current into the waiting waters below. It is within these depths that they will undergo an incredible transformation, gradually evolving into fully-formed frogs. The photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of nature's remarkable diversity and adaptability. Each egg represents potential life and embodies the resilience ingrained within every living organism. Morley Read skillfully brings forth every minute detail with precision, allowing viewers to appreciate both the beauty and scientific significance behind this image. From its portrayal of tropical fauna to its exploration into developmental biology, this photograph encapsulates our fascination with wildlife reproduction while offering a glimpse into South America's rich biodiversity.
