Thanks for posting this here - I would probably not have heard of this otherwise.

What a spectacular find! I hope measures are put in place to help protect this species.

Great find, indeed! Thanks for posting, Steve.

Unfortunately we only discover some species when they are already endangered. But better late than never!

Hope they are appropriately protected.

Nice one Steve. I expect we'll continue to see new species out of Colombia as more areas open up...
