Red-and-Green Poison Dart Frog - Striking Amphibian of the Amazon Rainforest #1270184 (License: Personal Use)

The red-and-green poison dart frog (Ranitomeya reticulata) features bold reticulated patterns of emerald green over a deep brick-red base, serving as aposematic signaling to deter predators. Found in the understory of lowland rainforests in Peru and Ecuador, it thrives in humid microhabitats near leaf litter and small water pools. Its skin secretes potent alkaloid toxins derived from dietary ants and mites, making it one of nature’s most chemically defended amphibians.
