In 2004 herpetologist Indraneil Das and his Hamburg University colleague Alexander Haas discovered a tiny frog species no larger than a pea when returning from a field trip at the Kubah National Park in the Malaysian state of Sarawak on Borneo island.
A museum listed the species but misidentified them as juveniles of other frog species, Das told AP.
Asia's smallest frog... Nepenthes ampullaria
However, the frogs were later found to be adults, and were named Microhyla nepenthicola.
Das said they only found them by tracking their singing of “harsh rasping notes” at dusk and caught them by making them jump on a white cloth near the pitcher plants, hence the name nepenthicola, derived from the name of a pitcher plant species.
