Tiny black and white frog (2 cm).
Jungle of the Amazon region.
I spotted this frog in French Guiana, in the 1990s. Very conspicuous when resting on a leaf, it immediately falls down to the ground, rolls over on its back showing its dull grey belly when disturbed and stays motionless, thus becoming invisible.
