Diet
Yellow-banded poison dart frog's diet is primarily insectivorous, focusing mainly on small arthropods such as ants and mites. This aquatic amphibian also utilizes its sticky tongue to catch unwary insects, signifying a preference for live prey.
Appearance
Yellow-banded poison dart frog is a small, frog-like animal with a slim, streamlined body covered in smooth, glossy skin. Its coloration varies from bright yellow to orange, densely dotted with dark, irregularly shaped spots. The creature lacks additional features such as horns or wings, but it is equipped with large, suction-cup-like discs at the end of its toes which aid in climbing. There are no remarkable differences in physical appearance due to age, gender or subspecies.
Behavior
Dendrobates leucomelas frogs are diurnal by nature, and are known to be fiercely territorial. They live in small groups in the wild, and will attack neighbouring groups with surprising ferocity for creatures of their size. They will also warn off rivals by emitting loud calls; D. leucomelas is known to have one of the loudest calls among poison dart frogs; theirs can be heard from some distance and is described as an innocent-sounding, bird-like trill. D. leucomelas, as with all frogs, can also call to attract members of the opposite sex. Uniquely, it is also the only poison dart frog to estivate during dry spells.
