This piece, A. varius, refers a species of toads named:
Atelopus varius.

Until ten years ago these beautiful harlequin toads were plentiful along streams in Central America.
In Costa Rica and Panama these very common toads were symbols of good fortune.

People would bring them home to bless the house and family.

Today, they are very close to extinct.

This past May, a good friend, Steve Waldron,
spent two weeks on the Rio Atelopus in Costa Rica.
