Asian Common Toadlet
Duttaphrynus melanostictus (toadlet)
Lives on damp ground near breeding pools, garden edges, drains, and leaf litter after leaving the water. Hunts tiny insects and other small invertebrates with short hops and quick tongue strikes. Its small size makes hiding under debris and staying close to moisture important. Even at this stage, the skin can carry irritating toxins that deter many predators.
