Poison dart frog

I am the poison‑dart frog.

My introduction is pretty.

But I am dangerous.

My colours are  your warning.

Stay away.

                                                                              

I am different to other frogs.

I hunt fly’s.

I blend in with the grass.

I wait.

And then I strike!

Gulping the fly down.

My poison is deadly.

My colours are devine.

But humans fear me.

As should animals too.

And I will tell you who else should fear me.

You!

I have enemies.

Including vicious, hairy tarantulars.

Who hunt me.

So I burrow in the grass.

And camouflage myself.

Watch out for me.

Unless you want an eventful stroll.
