Physical Characteristics Phyllobates bicolor is typically golden-yellow in color and has black flecks on its hind legs. However, the color pattern varies widely. All of the poison-dart frogs have very bright aposematic coloration. This is used as a defense mechanism to warm potential predators of there extreme toxicity. Food Habits Phyllobates bicolor is primarily carnivorous.
Adults feed on ants, termites, tiny beetles, and other small leaf litter arthropods.
They capture their prey using their long, sticky retractable tongue. Reproduction Most populations of Phyllobates bicolor breed continuously througout the rainy season, some every other month or even more frequently. In order to attract a female, the male will sit on a leaf and call by trilling or buzzing. This may go on for several days. Once a female is attracted, the mating pair must find a suitable location to lay their eggs.
