Asia's smallest frog found

Asia's tiniest frog, a creature the size of a pea, has been discovered in a national park in Malaysia's Bornea island, researchers said on Thursday.
The frog measure just three mm when it metamorphoses from a tadpole, and grows to about nine to 11mm. It was named Microhlya nepenthicola after the Nepenthes ampulaaria, a miniature pitcher plant in which it lives.
