There are times in our lives when we are in awe of things, of situations, of people, of nature... Sometimes we are in awe and it makes our jaw drop and at times it makes us raise our eyebrows... amazing life, amazing world.... and this is just a record of those moments...

World's smallest frog - paedophryne amauensis

I'm in awe of this tiny frog which is only 7.7 millimeters long or three-tenth of an inch. It is the Paedophryne Amauensis that was discovered in 2009 in the village of Amau, in Papua New Guinea.
These frogs that live in the leaves on the forest floors are unique not only in their size but also in their calls. They sound more like a chirping insect and nothing like a frog.
