Dendrobates auratus, also known as the green and black poison dart frog or the green and black poison arrow frog, and sometimes mint poison frog (not to be confused with the mint-green color morph of Phyllobates terribilis), is a brightly colored member of the order Anura native to Central America and northwestern parts of South America. It is one of the most variable of all poison dart frogs next to Dendrobates tinctorius and some Oophaga spp.

Sad to know that the shiny colorful skin of this adorable fellow is very poisonous. Fantastic work, Teresa !
