Blue Poison Frog (Dendrobates tinctorius) "azureus", family Dendorbatidae, found in Suriname

Once considered a distinct species, D. azureus, it is now generally considered to be a regional color morph of the Dyeing Poison Frog, D. tinctorius, though some herpetologists consider it to be subspecies.

There are also other populations of blue D. tinctorius, that some in the pet trade and zoos call “azureus”, as well.

Usually, D. tinctorius is yellow and blue, with black markings.
