The variable harlequin toad is a small, brightly coloured toad from the forests of Central America. It lives on rocks and in crevices beside streams. It is critically endangered, which means it is at very high risk of disappearing from the wild.1

It lives in humid lowland and montane forests, usually on rocks or in crevices along streams. It is mainly land-based and enters the water only during the breeding season, getting moisture from stream spray.1

This animal is poisonous rather than venomous, so it does not bite or sting. Its skin contains tetrodotoxin, a potent neurotoxin (a poison that attacks the nerves).1

Its bright, conspicuous colours warn predators that its skin is toxic.1

1

Its only known predator is a parasitic fly, Notochaeta bufonivora. The fly lays larvae on the frog's thigh, and the larvae burrow inside and eat the frog from within.1

2

A census between 1990 and 1992 near Monteverde, Costa Rica, found zero individuals where the population had once peaked at 751 adults.1

3

By 1996 it was believed to be extinct throughout Costa Rica, but a 2019 assessment found two subpopulations in the country.1

4

It was rediscovered near Quepos, Costa Rica, in 2003.1

5

The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis can spread between individuals through shed skin cells and harms the skin, which affects breathing and the balance of water and salts in the body.1

6

In March 2021 the species was bred in captivity outside Panama for the first time.1
