context_page_description: The yellow-banded poison dart frog, also known as yellow-headed poison dart frog or bumblebee poison frog, is a poisonous frog from the genus Dendrobates of the family Dendrobatidae.
context_section_description: The species' robustness, relatively common numbers in the wild, and widespread natural distribution has helped maintain this frog's status of "Least Concern" on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's conservation red list, despite some overharvesting of wild specimens for the exotic pet trade. The species' ability to be easily bred in captivity has led to a fall in prices within the free market, which is an alleviative factor to the problem of overharvesting.
