<P> Poison dart frog ( also known as dart - poison frog , poison frog or formerly known as poison arrow frog ) is the common name of a group of frogs in the family Dendrobatidae which are native to tropical Central and South America . These species are diurnal and often have brightly colored bodies . This bright coloration is correlated with the toxicity of the species , making them aposematic . Some species of the family Dendrobatidae exhibit extremely bright coloration along with high toxicity , while others have cryptic coloration with minimal to no amount of observed toxicity . The species that have great toxicity derive this from their diet of ants , mites and termites . Other species however , that exhibit cryptic coloration and low to no amounts of toxicity , eat a much larger variety of prey . Many species of this family are threatened due to human infrastructure encroaching the places they inhabit . </P>
