Bumblebee Poison Dart Frog Enamel Pin (Dendrobates leucomelas)
With black-and-yellow bands that look like a wasp costume and a call that sounds like a squeaky toy, Dendrobates leucomelas is the life of the rainforest understory. Native to Venezuela, Guyana, Brazil, and parts of Colombia, this tiny amphibian warns predators with its loud colors—nature’s “do not eat” label—while hopping confidently through leaf litter. In the wild, its skin secretes toxins from an insect-based diet, but in captivity it’s all show and no sting. This hard enamel pin captures its bold pattern and pint-sized charm in polished metal and rich enamel—no fruit fly farm or tropical habitat required.
Specs:
- Premium metal base with polished hard enamel fill
- Secure clasp so your frog doesn’t “vanish into the foliage”
- Size: 40.5 x 30.5mm
- Zero risk of chemical warfare in your pocket
Perfect for amphibian aficionados, rainforest color lovers, and anyone who enjoys wildlife with a little high-contrast swagger.
