Oophaga pumilio
One of the most prominent frogs in Costa Rica. Its brilliant red head and back and blue-to-purple legs comprise a coloration distinct from all other frogs with the exception of the Granular Poison-dart Frog (Dendrobates granuliferus); the Blue-jeans, however has smooth skin, whereas the Granular has rough skin on its back.
Lowland moist and wet forest, the Strawberry Poison-dart lives in undisturbed areas or abandoned clearings. It may also inhabit cacao plantations.
