Possibly Eleutherodactylus planirostris

!adult greenhouse frog

!baby greenhouse frog

Found many of these frogs under a wet trash bag in a back yard in Mérida, Yucatán. I made use of a handheld flash with a remote trigger for lighting, and a Sigma 105 mm as my macro lens.

These frogs do not seem to match with any of the local frogs reported in Julian C. Lee's field guide to the amphibians and reptiles of the maya world.

From a reverse image search, I mostly found images of the green house frog Eleutherodactylus planirostris. Eleutherodactylus planirostris is native to Cuba and the Bahamas, and is often introduced with plants that come from green houses in those areas. These frogs go from tadpole to frog while still inside of the egg, which explains why the baby frogs are so small.

The visual aspect, the incredibly small baby frogs, and the fact that they were found in a back yard in the city with greenhouse plants, all lead me to conclude that it is likely Eleutherodactylus planirostris.

  • Thanks!!

  • Tepache Bubbling Away
  • Fermentation bubbles are hypnotic.

    I have never made tepache before and I have been taking advantage of the warm temperatures this summer to run multiple new fermentation projects. So I will give tepache a try! Any tips?

    I constantly get errors loading images.
  • I have changed rate limits / timeouts that I can control, but I still see that this happens when I clear my browser cache and load the front page. I agree that it is quite bothersome. I will need to dive deeper and get in touch with the object store provider again.

  • I constantly get errors loading images.
  • Thank you. There was a different error that should have been fixed yesterday (a "too many requests" reply from the object storage provider). But this error is different, and I am not sure yet why it happens. I will change some settings that could have an effect. Please let me know if it happens again!

  • Lots of 429s and broken images from mander.xyz
  • Should be fixed now!

  • Tell me Y
  • Good news! Just got a reply from them and they have increased the connection limit. They did not specify what the new number is, but hopefully it is high enough to not be an issue for the foreseeable future.

    So, if you do run into other similar reports after this comment I would appreciate it if you tag me again.

  • Tell me Y
  • Thanks!

    Cost is not the bottleneck in this case... The problem is that I am rather ignorant about the options and their benefits/limitations. Moving the images the first time was painfully slow because of those same rate limits, and I expect the next migration to be the same, so I want to make a better choice next time and would rather find a solution with the current provider 😅

  • Tell me Y
  • Thanks for the heads up. I am still trying to resolve this without a migration... I will try again to get a response from them as they have not replied in a week.

    Electro-optical photonic integrated circuits based on lithium tantalate perform as well as current state-of-the-art ones using lithium niobate but the material has the advantage of existing commercial uses in consumer electronics, easing the problem of scalability.

  • If I am not given the ability to improve the rate limits soon I will need to find a different object storage provider. The migration will bring down the instance's images for several days so I am trying to avoid that....

    If anyone knows of a good and reliable object storage provider with better limits, I would appreciate the recommendations.

  • Cats are liars.
  • This is the current status:

    • The instance is serving the images via object storage. Specifically, I am making use of Contabo to save and serve the images.

    • I now know that the default limits are 250 requests / second and 80 Mbit/s: https://help.contabo.com/en/support/solutions/articles/103000275478-what-limits-are-there-on-object-storage-

    • It appears to me like when the requests are exceeded, the "Too many requests" error is triggered and it takes a few seconds before the requests are accepted again. This can happen if few users access the front page at once as this will fetch all of the thumbnails and icons on the page.

    • I have been in touch with Contabo's customer support via e-mail. But they mis-understood my original e-mails and thought I was speaking about increasing the maximum number of images that can be stored (3 million by default). I have clarified that I want to increase the rate limit and have been waiting for their response for a few days now.

    • The other solution would be to move the images to a different object storage provider. The migration is also limited to the 250 requests/s and 80 Mbit/s, so it will require turning off the images for 4 - 7 days while all the images are moved... Since I am not familiar with the policies of other object storage providers I would also need to do research to avoid falling into the same trap.

    So, I am hoping that Contabo's support will get back to me soon and allow me to increase the rate limits, as this would be the most straight forward approach.

  • I have been reaching out to the object storage provider to see if I can increase the rate limits... Unfortunately I might need to change to a different provider to overcome this. Since the migration takes several days, especially so because of those same rate limits, I would rather avoid this...

  • That's an error I had not seen before, but I also just encountered with this specific post. I will investigate, thanks.

  • Cats are liars.
  • This error is a rate limit from the object storage provider. I did not know of this limit when I chose them, and I still have not found a way to change the limit. I will send them an e-mail. If the limit can't be increased, one option is to pick another object storage provider, but the migration takes days.

  • Anyone know how I can fix this? Phantom message alerts. *Solved*
  • Check in your settings whether you have disabled the visibility of bot responses. This can happen if bots replied to you and your settings are set to not see them.

    Lymphocytes need to be slowed down rapidly to enter tissues. Here the authors characterise the arrest of lymphocytes and using a calcium biosensor propose that a rapid drop in extracellular calcium concentration results in integrin activation and lymphocyte arrest.
