Strawberry Poison Dart Frog
Oophaga pumilio
It was cool seeing these tiny strawberry poison dart frogs (also known as the blue jeans frog) at La Selva. They were everywhere, but they're quite tiny and skittish, making photo opportunities fairly difficult to obtain. Though these wee ones carry a only mild toxin, their larger South American cousins with similar coloration are quite poisonous.
