Strawberry Poison Dart Frog Enamel Pin (Dendrobates pumilio)
At first glance, Dendrobates pumilio looks like an adorable rainforest gummy candy—until you remember it’s one of the most toxic frogs in Central America. Nicknamed the strawberry poison dart frog, it sports a bright red body paired with cobalt-blue or black legs, depending on the morph, like it’s perpetually dressed for an amphibian fashion gala. Native to lowland forests from Nicaragua to Panama, this 2–4 cm powerhouse uses its vivid colors to announce “I am dangerous, and I will not be ignored.” This hard enamel pin captures its bold contrast and outsized personality in polished metal and rich enamel—no tropical terrarium or toxic ants required.
Specs:
- Premium metal base with polished hard enamel fill
- Secure clasp so your frog doesn’t “hop the border”
- Size: 32 x 28mm
- Zero risk of poisoning your jacket
Perfect for dart frog fans, rainforest color enthusiasts, and anyone who likes their style small, bright, and a little bit dangerous.
