The spot-legged poison frog (Ameerega picta; formerly Epipedobates picta) is a species of dendrobatid frog found in Bolivia, Brazil, Peru, and Venezuela. This frog has been observed on dead branches and leaf litter in primary and secondary tropical lowland and montane forests. It has also been observed at the edges of forests and in degraded habitats. Scientists observed the frog between 200 and 2500 meters above sea level. Its range includes many protected areas.
The female frog lays her eggs on the ground. After the eggs hatch, the adult frogs carry the tadpoles to water. The IUCN classifies this frog as least concern of extinction because its large range contains considerable suitable habitat. There are some localized threats associated with farming and livestock cultivation. It is possible that this frog may be sold on the international pet trade, but it is not clear that this poses a threat to the wild population.

Likely
About 50% of wildlife watchers report a Spot-legged Poison Frog sighting in Amboró National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. Over three days the chance rises to about 90%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and July
In those months about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Spot-legged Poison Frog in Amboró National Park on a given day, against about 10% in August and October, the lowest months. February–March and December have too few records to rate.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Spot-legged Poison Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Amboró National Park, in our data
Amboró National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Spot-legged Poison Frog sightings: about 50% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Spot-legged Poison Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Amboró National Park (7 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
