New Tiny Frog Species Discovered Living in Costa Rica's Coffee Plantations

Scientists have discovered a small nocturnal frog species living among coffee shrubs in Costa Rica. The frog measures less than four centimeters and survives on a diet of small insects, using plant foliage for shelter. Its lifecycle depends on nearby streams, which are threatened by pesticide runoff from agricultural activity. The discovery highlights the unexpected biodiversity found within farming landscapes. Researchers are calling for conservation efforts to protect both the species and its fragile habitat.
