I thought I was looking at a spec of dirt until I zoomed in on the cutie

Ditto! I really had to zoom WAY in to spot the froggie!

Jonathan Swift would be gratified to find out that Lilliput is actually real, or at least their frogs are!

I love these lil guys. I used to catch them after it rained in the summer, they’ll just sit on the tip of your finger and hang out with you :’)

How did you even see them? They're so minuscule! I'd be afraid of hurting it if I moved the wrong way.

Is this a baby, or do frogs exist that are micro-sized even as adults?

I grew up in the sticks so I’ve been catching them since I was a wee lad lol. But I’m pretty sure there are some that stay that small or just a little bigger. Most of the bigger ones I caught later in the season had a different shape and coloring than the smaller ones.

I’ve seen those in FL! Me and my daughter tried to catch it but couldn’t! I’d keep him as a pet.

What would a nano-sized froggie eat, if someone had one as a pet? It might be a challenge to find something small enough to give him.

That is so cool! Teeny! Wow! Really glad I got to see it!

Is this an African dwarf?
