About the design:
I donated the model for this design to the Kansas Herpetological Society’s 2017 auction. These are frogs of the genus Mantella and are found in the jungles of Madagascar. They are less than 2 inches in length, brightly colored, and poisonous. Like new world poison dart frogs, they get the alkaloid toxins in their skins from the food they eat. Mostly Mantellas feed on ants, termites, and other insects (who probably get their toxins from the plants they eat). The species in this design are Mantella expectata, M. madagascariensis, M. viridis, M. crocea, M. baroni, M. cowanii, and the bright yellow M. aurantiaca.
