Welcome to Colombia!

I stayed next to Barbas Bremen nature reserve in Filandia (Quindío), in the center-west of Colombia, at Kiraikai Ecolodge and went on a hike with the guide Alejandro Grajales, who took me to see the Cauca Posion Frog.

Scientific name: Andinobates bombetes
Common name: Cauca Poison Frog
Habitat: Forests in the Valle del Cauca, and departments of Quindío and Risaralda.
Conservation status: Vulnerable

This small amphibian measures 17 mm (males) and 18 mm (females). It is characterized by its striking colors such as yellow, red or blue with black stripes. Some have a little red on the top of the head, the sides of the body are black with small spots that vary from white, yellow, or green.

Researchers from the Wildlife Conservation Society Colombia (WCS) conducted a study on 69 frogs in the forests of Colombia and found that their main diets were ants and mites, which are believed to enable them to develop their venom.

Although this species is poisonous, its small size makes it non-fatal, although the response to its venom will vary depending on the organism. These frogs are diurnal and use their venom to defend themselves against predators, along with the color warning mechanism.
