So, my Uncle was walking in Costa Rica today, abd found this Dart Frog on a waterfall tour. He posted it on my Facebook wall, and I told him I would ID it.

So, anyone have an ID?

BTW, I thought it was a Golfodulcean Poison Frog and I looked it up and it looked pretty close.

So here it is:

Wouldnt it be a bad idea to touch a PDF in the wild?

Let's keep it on topic with ID's only.

 

[Phyllobates azureus]

Pretty obvious vittatus.

I'm not sure if vittatus are like terribilis and bicolor, which have poison which goes through the pores.
Although, licking a vittatus or putting it on an area with thin skin (the top of the feet or the face, for example) would certainly be very painful and possibly fatal.

The picture was worth the risk lol.
