Escape for florists as world's deadliest frog leaps out of exotic flowers

A Phantasmal poison dart frog: It may be pretty but its poison is lethalA Phantasmal poison dart frog: It may be pretty but its poison is lethal

Florist Debbie Wilding jumped out of her skin as she unpacked a box of exotic flowers and came face to face with a colourful frog. What she didn't know was that it was one of the deadliest creatures on the planet.

A Phantasmal poison dart frog may be pretty but its poison is lethal, and as Debbie and her colleagues tried to recapture it, one of them rang nearby Myerscough College and was warned: 'Whatever you do, don't touch it!'

The one-and-a-half-inch long frog is one of the most poisonous creatures on Earth, and any contact with it would have serious consequences.
