White-lined leaf frog        Images © Mark A. Chappell

This lovely little Phyllomedusa was resting above a trail near Pantiacolla Lodge in the Peruvian Amazon.   I'm not completely sure of the species but I think it is the white-lined leaf frog (P. vaillantii).   It sat peacefully while I took many photos, even though a few times I accidentally shook the vine it was sitting on.
