Micro Frog Found in Search for World's Lost Amphibians

Micro frog found in Borneo is one of the tiniest frogs in the world photo
Pea-Sized Frog is Old World's Smallest
The smallest frog known on the Asian, European or African continents - and one of the world's tiniest frogs - was found by a group of scientists searching for "lost amphibians." This pea-sized micro frog belongs to the species of microhylid, which, as the name suggests, is composed of miniature frogs under 15 millimeters. So why was it "lost"? And, excepting the "awww, cute!" factor, why is it important that this tiny frog has been found?
