etheridge's robber frog
Eleutherodactylus etheridgei
Ethridge's robber frog is a very small species of frog that lives only in the mountains of Haiti. Fully formed froglets emerge from its eggs, without a tadpole stage.
Ethridge's robber frog is distinguished by direct development without an aquatic stage and very small size. It is important for nature because it helps control insect populations in Haiti's mountain forests.
