The botanical garden is home to many of these colorful little strawberry poison dart frogs, Oophaga pumilio. Unfortunately, they seem to prefer hanging about in the plastic planters. Above, you can see some of the little fertilizer beads. Below, one was just inside the container.
Inside a plastic plant containerI would have been preferred a more natural setting.
Although they were easy to spot amongst the plantings, I would have preferred a more natural setting.
One more
As you might expect, the bright coloration is a warning to not touch these little frogs.
