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:

Yup, that is a Phyllobates vittatus (Golfodulcean Poison Frog).

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.
