It gets its poison from a special small ant. Cant remember its name though. It takes it up by eating the ant.. --David Munch (talk) 21:07, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] the poisonous one

One of the ants in its nautral enviroment makes the pdf's toxins. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.144.217.99 (talk • contribs) 04:43, 4 July 2006

Strictly speaking, this is still a matter of study. It appears that there are a limited number of ant species that produce the poison. See the entries on Batrachotoxin for details. --Leperflesh 00:38, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Images

The image gallery was recently removed. [1]. I think that image galleries for species articles are actually really useful, as the appearance of a species cannot be expressed by a single image of one individual from a single angle. I'd like to restore the gallery, but I'll wait a few days for comments. Enuja 01:02, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Does the "gallery remover" really expect a casual or inexperienced reader (maybe a child doing homework) to go to another site (Commons) to find the extra pictures. I know that a link to Commons can be made in the article (which is a good idea) but even then the reader should find in WP a self contained article with (usually) no need to go elsewhere. We are not trying to make a 2-part encyclopedia (read the article then go to Commons). The argument that "Commons is for galleries" is therefore false. Commons is a picture repository for use in all WPs so here we've made use of it. I've restored the Gallery because, given the removers misunderstanding of what Commons is, a concensus is not needed. Note also that Galleries are a feature of very many WP articles so remove this one and they all have to go (imagine the anger!!) - Adrian Pingstone 06:23, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
