Rainbow Of Colors: Some Colorful Frogs
69
I just love anything living that is colorful. Even if its frogs! I only see the farm frogs thou, the usual brown ones but I haven't seen the colorful ones personally. Although I had watch some tv programs or documentaries about frogs in various colors.
I used to drift off to sleep to the sound of crickets and frogs back in my childhood from those rainy days. And it is just relaxing.
Anyway, I thought I should put a hub about all this colorful frog as they are fun and entertaining to see.
From being eggs, into tadpoles, and to being frogs! Frogs are amphibians and that they usually return in bodies of water to breed. They are really helpful too in a way that frogs eats insects we classified as pests.
Atelopulos frog
Brightly colored and small. Atepulos frogs are commonly known as "harlequin frogs."
Other names for the endangered atepulos frog are the "clown frog" and " Costa Rican Variable Harlequin Toad."
What does this colorful frog eats? Clown frogs feeds mainly on small arthropods and doesn't usually go from places to places, it stays in the same area for quite a period of time.

Blue poison frog
Dendrobates azureus
Seen a little blue colored frog with black dots or patches? Those are the blue poison dart frogs.
They're main source of food? Blue poison dart frogs eats insects, termites, ants, and tiny beetles . And that's how they got their skin toxins, from being a forager in the wild.
