their diet isnt the same. i think current theories ae leaning twords some type of beetle in their diet that allows them to produce their toxins. the darts pictured here really arent considered very dangerous in the wild. all those pictured are from the genus Dendrobates. its their cousins from the genus Phyllobates that are the deadly ones in the wild. while i wouldnt take them lightly, wild Dendrobates probably pose not real threat unless you were to eat one of them. that said it is normally cautioned that if you are feeding your dart frogs "field sweepings"(wild collected bugs) you should be a bit more carefull if you have to handle the frogs since it really isnt known what insect species is allowing the frog to create its toxins.
