Although typically blackish with a variable pattern of green, other colors are also possible. Blue is seen in certain locations in Panama. The green-and-black poison dart frog has the typical appearance of the members of its family; males average 0.75 in (1.9 cm) in snout–vent length, while females are slightly larger, averaging 1 in (2.5 cm) or longer.
This relatively large poison dart frog has a snout-vent length of up to 42 mm (1.7 in). [5]Gurupi Biological Reserve, Maranhão, Brazil. The best known variants of this species are black below and yellow, orange or red above, but its color is extremely variable with some having whitish-mint or light blue upperparts, some having a mottled or spotted pattern above, and some being almost all ...
The adult male frog measures about 38.8 mm – 44.8 mm in snout-vent length and a single adult female specimen 58.1 mm. Adult frogs can vary in color between individuals. The skin of the dorsum can be dark gray or light gray in color with brown marks or it can be yellow-brown in color with red marks.

Unlike the other Phyllobates species, these frogs will not breed in coconut shells; they prefer to lay their eggs inside a narrow tube (small film canisters or nut pods) on the ground. Female P. aurotaenia lay their clutch of eggs, averaging 15-20, in leaf-litter and the male takes the tadpoles to slow-flowing water after the eggs hatch. [1]
A piece of evidence for this is observations of egg deposition with tadpoles during the dry season, when tadpoles are developing. Unlike their close relatives R. imitator and R. vanzolinii, R. variabilis lay their eggs just below water level to keep the eggs moisturized, have access to oxygen, and possibly as food if placed with tadpoles.

Dyeing poison dart frog (Dendrobates tinctorius) Most species of poison dart frogs are small, sometimes less than 1.5 cm (0.59 in) in adult length, although a few grow up to 6 cm (2.4 in) in length. They weigh 1 oz. on average. [7] Most poison dart frogs are brightly colored, displaying aposematic patterns to warn potential predators. Their ...
