6, see text Phyllobates is a genus of poison dart frogs native to Central and South America, from Nicaragua to Colombia.

They are typical of the poison dart frogs, in that all species have bright warning coloration (aposematism), and have varying degrees of toxicity.

Only species of Phyllobates are used by natives of South American tribes as sources of poison for their hunting darts.

[1] Phyllobates (Ancient Greek for "leaf climber") used to contain many of the species which are now within the genus Ranitomeya.

The bicolor dart frog (Phyllobates bicolor) can range from yellow to orange, from black legs to green legs, to almost a uniform color of any of the aforementioned color morphs.
