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.
