This may sound stupid but. How do you even begin to look for new tiny frogs???
the alt text here is a gift but some devices don't display it very easily so i'm copying it for those who may not have seen it:
Yours truly, his head deeply buried in the ferns, his ass in the air, his knees soaking in water, trying to catch a species related to Blommersia sarotra. Sarotra is a Malagasy word meaning 'difficult'. These frogs call gleefully from mere centimetres away from you, but for over an hour, three of us sought and failed to find a single individual. It's not always like this, but this is also not unusual. It is not glamorous. It is often muddy and wet. The club of individuals with special skill/experience in catching Madagascar's smallest frogs has three members, and I am privileged to be among them. But even I often fail.
