Surprising Facts about Costa Rican Variable Harlequin Toad 
(Atelopus varius)

These frogs are stubborn enough not to enter the water until they are going through breeding seasons.

For moisture, they mostly rely on the splashes coming from the stream sides.

They are lethargic and slothful. They are often seen in the same area for a long period of time.

Their miraculous aposematic coloration helps them in warning their potential predators of its toxicity.

Their main source of food is arthopods.

A parasite known as sarcophagid fly (Notochaeta bufonivora) thrives on this frog’s thighs. Soon after it deposits its larvae on it, the larvae proceeds to burrow inside and then later eats it from within.

Recently crabs have been observed as one of the few predators attempting to prey on this frog.
