Pleasing Poison Frog
Ameerega bassleri
This small poison frog inhabits humid forest-floor leaf litter and the edges of shallow streams in the Andean-Amazonian region. It actively searches for ants, mites, and other minute arthropods during the day. Defensive alkaloids obtained through its diet are stored in its skin, while its conspicuous coloration warns potential predators away.
