The Boana picturata, commonly known as the Imbabura Treefrog, is a species of tree frog found primarily in the humid tropical forests of South America. It is distinguished by its bright colors and unique patterns that allow it to blend effectively into its natural environment. This frog is primarily nocturnal, meaning it is active at night. It mainly feeds on insects and plays a crucial role in controlling insect populations in its habitat. Although its conservation status is not concerning, the destruction of its natural habitat poses a potential threat to its long-term survival.

Leucostethus argyrogaster is a species of amphibian belonging to the Dendrobatidae family. It is primarily found in the lowland tropical rainforests of South America, particularly in Peru and Ecuador.

It is diurnal and spends most of its time foraging for food, mainly insects. Its skin secretes toxins, a common trait among its family members. Although its conservation status is not of concern, it is threatened by deforestation and habitat loss.
