Anomaloglossus beebei

Anomaloglossus beebei (common names: Beebe's rocket frog, golden rocket frog) is a species of frog in the Aromobatidae family. It is endemic to Guyana and only found on the Kaieteur Plateau, in the eastern edge of them Pacaraima Mountains.[2] Recently, it has also been found on Mount Ayanganna.[3]
This frog inhabits the tank of the giant bromeliad Brocchinia micrantha.[1] Tadpoles live in small amounts of water trapped in the leaf axils.[4] It is an opportunistic sit and wait predator whose diet includes small arthropods, mosquitos, and midges.
Anomaloglossus beebei has been assessed as being a vulnerable species because its range is small (<20 km²) and its habitat is slowly being lost by expanding forests.[1]
