Blue and Red Poison Frog - a photo on Flickriver

            Anthony's poison arrow frog (Epipedobates anthonyi) - El Oro Province, Ecuador

One of the stunning blue and red Epipedobates from a population in the El Oro Province.  I saw this species in a quite a few different locales but only one site where they had this beautiful color pattern.  This species is restricted to Southern Ecuador and the Northwest tip of Peru.  They live in a variety of habitats in the foothills of the Andes Mountains however despite their plasticity when it comes to habitat they're listed as near threatened by IUCN.  Dendrobatids are unusual among frogs in that they display parental care, in some species it is quite advanced.  In this particular species the male guards the eggs for approximately 2 weeks until they hatch and then the male will carry the tadpoles to a water source such as a puddle where he leaves the tadpoles and they will eventually mature.
