Poison dart frogs got that name not because the frogs have poison darts - they haven't - but because humans used the poison from the frogs to poison their darts.
They are part of the ecosystem because that way when endangered predators don't eat the poison dart frog they live helping the environment!
There are four species of poison dart-frogs: Dendrobates, Epipedobates, Minyobates and Phyllobates.

Yes, Louisiana is home to several species of frogs, including the Southern Leopard Frog and the Green Tree Frog, but it does not have native poison dart frogs. Poison dart frogs are primarily found in Central and South America, where they thrive in tropical rainforests. While some exotic species may be kept in captivity or introduced in the pet trade, they are not part of Louisiana's native fauna.
Yes, Also that is why I think that they have a part of the species named the poison dart frog
The poison dart frog primarily inhabits the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. These frogs are often found in humid, lowland areas near streams and ponds, where they can easily access the moisture they need to thrive. Their vibrant colors and patterns serve as a warning to predators about their toxicity.

Skin secretions
The place where poison dart frogs live are called rain forest. This warm, wet weather is what poison dart frogs need. The rain lets the kinds of plants the frogs need to live on grow here. The warm weather keeps the frogs from getting too cold and it also means that there are lots of insects for the poison dart frogs to eat.Tropical places , rain forest , jungles , and swamp
Poisonous frogs have the poison on their skins or it is excreted through the skin. When a animal or human touches the frog, the poison transfers through skin to skin contact. If an animal tries to bite or eat the frog (example: a snake or possum), the poisons transfer from the frog's skin to the predator's mouth. Did you know that most poisonous frogs are also the most colorful? The distinctive coloring is part of their warning system, "Don't eat me; I'll taste bad and kill you."
The Indtiqoskehfierny Species. (It's a hard name to pronounce)
Poison dart frogs are not native to the United States. They are mostly found in Central and South America.
The strawberry dart frog, scientifically known as Oophaga pumilio, is a small, brightly colored amphibian native to Central America, particularly in rainforests of Nicaragua and Costa Rica. It is renowned for its vivid red or orange coloration, often with blue or black markings, which serves as a warning to predators about its toxicity. These frogs are part of the dart frog family, named for the indigenous peoples who used their toxic secretions to tip blow darts. Strawberry dart frogs are also known for their interesting reproductive behavior, where males often guard and care for the eggs and tadpoles.
A poison arrow (or other frog) does not have ears per sebut has what is called a tympanum on their head behind each eye. It picks up vibrations and transfers them into the inner part of the frog's head where the rest of the organs of hearing are located. Recall that the frog's "ears" have to work under water, and the "ear" of a frog (or toad) is completely covered by the tympanum. The frog's other hearing organs are behind the tympanum in the inner head. Got links if you want 'em.
