Greenhouse Frog
Eleutherodactylus planirostris
A tiny terrestrial frog often found in damp leaf litter, gardens, plant pots, and greenhouses, especially in warm humid areas. It hides by day under debris and emerges at night to ambush small insects, mites, and other tiny invertebrates. Unlike many frogs, it has direct development: eggs hatch into miniature frogs rather than free-swimming tadpoles. Its soft chirping call is often heard before the frog itself is seen.
