Hi MickGrant, I just add ´´Poison´´in the common name, it is the same species just a variation of the color,This particular genus is not deadly, it get the name as they are very similar to the Phyllobates, that happens to be letal and were used by the native in South America to poison the darts for hunting. (not the pure poison but using some of the toxines of this frogs)
