Dendrobates auratus
Green with black splotches, about an inch in length.
Found in Manoa Valley of Hawai'i. In the forests deep in the back of the valley by the Treetops Restaurant.
Introduced to Manoa valley to get rid of the Mosquitos.
Yes, I was told that is the reason why we have them here. That was the first and only time I have ever seen one. Yes, we still have mosquitos
There is only one possible species in Hawaii: Dendrobates auratus, actually as you noted already introduced against mosquitos. Ehm... Do you still have mosquitos in Hawaii??
