Strawberry Poison Dart Frog: Named for their iconic bright red colouration, sometimes featuring blue hind legs, (hence the colloquial name “blue jeans frog,”) unusual colour variations occur in the Bocas del Toro archipelago off the coast of Panama. Morphs with blue and green bodies or white bellies appear, as well as some males with tan vocal pouches that fade when removed from their territory. These territories are approximately 3 m2 in size and defended ferociously, particularly by brighter-coloured males which are preferred by females. Eggs are laid on the ground and kept hydrated by the males until they hatch, when females carry individual tadpoles to bromeliad flowers where she feeds them with unfertilized eggs. Adult diets switch to primarily ants and mites, from which they get their poison.
Archey's Frog: Found only in Northern New Zealand/Aotearoa (and their smallest frog), this species is one of the only surviving members of an archaic genus which has barely changed over the past 200 million years, making them a sort of "living fossil". They are entirely terrestrial and eggs are laid in “nests” to be cared for by the male. He coats them in antimicrobial peptides, and once they hatch, carries the 4-15 froglets on his back as they complete metamorphosis. These frogs also lack a proper voice box and can only make a variety of chirps and squeaks. Although they are critically endangered, they have successfully been bred in captivity by the Auckland Zoo.

🍄 🐸 🌷 🥀 🐌 // poison garden // gouache on hot press paper
everything pictured in this piece is a poison: henbane in blue, belladonna in green, amanita muscaria in red, rosy bonnet in pink, lily of the valley, strawberry poison dart frogs, hickory tussock moth & caterpillar, ladybug. not the snails, though! they're just hanging.
[id: an illustrative gouache painting on a dark background. lush intertwined botanicals with textured blue and green leaves weave between red, white, and pink flowers. red frogs and ladybugs perch on stems, colorful pink and red mushrooms burst from the ground, and a moth hangs off a leaf. snails stroll quietly over the tops of mushrooms and along the ground. /end id]
