About

Dendrobates auratus occurs in humid lowland and submontane forest from southern Central America into northwestern Colombia. Males average about 1.9 cm snout-vent length and females 2.5 cm or more. After D. tinctorius it is the most variable poison frog in colour, with morphs ranging from the classic green-on-black Costa Rican form to blue and bronze-and-green variants. A population deliberately introduced to Oahu, Hawaii in 1932 for mosquito control is still established. Its toxins are sequestered from wild prey, so captive-bred animals are not poisonous.
