Wikipedia Abstract

Anomaloglossus beebei (common names: Beebe's rocket frog, golden rocket frog) is a species of frog in the Aromobatidae family. It is endemic to Guyana and only found on the Kaieteur Plateau, in the eastern edge of the Pacaraima Mountains. Recently, it has also been found on Mount Ayanganna. This frog inhabits the tank of the giant bromeliad Brocchinia micrantha. Tadpoles live in small amounts of water trapped in the leaf axils. It is an opportunistic sit and wait predator whose diet includes small arthropods, mosquitos, and midges.
