The yellow-bellied poison frog, yellow-bellied poison-arrow frog, or yellowbelly poison frog (Andinobates fulguritus) is a species of frog in the Dendrobatidae family. It is found in northwestern Colombia and east-central Panama.[2] Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland forests. It is a locally common, terrestrial frog. The eggs are deposited in leaf-litter; both parents carry the tadpoles to leaf axils, usually bromeliads, where they complete their development.[1]
It is threatened by habitat loss (deforestation) and pollution. This species seems not to be collected for pet trade.[1]
