Lutz's poison frog (Ameerega flavopicta;[1] formerly Epipedobates flavopicta) is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae found in Bolivia and Brazil. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, moist savanna, subtropical or tropical moist shrubland, rivers, intermittent freshwater marshes, and rocky areas. Reproduction occurs in rocky pools and streams. Eggs are laid under a rock and the male transports tadpoles to wet trenches or small rocky pools. [2]It is threatened by habitat loss.[3]

Breeding

Lutz's Poison Frogs breeding sites include rock crevices, termite nests, low vegetation[4] or trenches [5]
