Hyalinobatrachium dianae, why are there so many songs about rainbows
The Costa Rican Amphibian Research Center's Facebook page
posted an announcement of a brand new species of glass frog back
in February.
Brian Kubicki said the tiny, semi-translucent glass-frog specimen, which he named Hyalinobatrachium dianae, is very delicate and its presence "is a good indicator of the general health of the eco-system."
The new species was named in honor of Brian Kubicki's mother, Janet Diane Kubicki. It's less-than-scientific-name is Diane's bare-hearted glass frog. This makes the total number of known glass frogs in Costa Rica 14.
