Blue Jeans Poison Dart Frog

The poison dart frog’s stunning colors are a warning to possible predators that they are toxic. Their skin is poisonous, not because of any poison cells in the skin layers, but because of the toxins in the ants and mites that they eat.

The frog below is really tiny but Gabriel still spotted it relaxing in the leaves.
