I was at a house in Manoa when I saw this frog. According to the homeowner, this is a Poison Dart Frog. She said that Manoa has a lot of them as they were brought in to keep the mosquitos down. Because they get so much rain, they have a lot of mosquitos. The rain also helps the frogs to thrive. Drive outside the valley and you won't find the frogs anywhere. Oh, and she said not to touch it.
A friend wrote me to tell me that the homeowner was wrong about the frogs being brought in to control mosquitos. He said they were pets that were let loose and now flourish in the area.
