This is an Amazonian poison dart from (family DENDROBATIDAE) which I am fairly sure is Ameerega trivittata. If anyone knows better, please let me know. I caught him out in the open on a rainy day. Nikon D80, f32, shutter speed 1/60, built in flash on the Nikon. I know I really need to get an external flash for these close up photos to reduce the reflection from wet surfaces, but haven't been able to afford one yet.
