Visuals of tiny frogs cocooned within lush flower petals sound like something out of an illustrated fairy tale book. However, a video capturing this scene is going viral.

The undated video shared online by @FrogOnIG, a Twitter account dedicated to wholesome frog-related posts, has gathered over 6.9 lakh views. Tiny frog species like poison arrow frogs and tree frogs often put themselves between flower petals or leaves. These frogs eat small insects like flies, ants, and termites that land near the plants. The adhesive disks at their feet help them retain their grip on plants and flowers.

I love this so much! Our Dahlia’s are almost done for this year, but I will watch them next summer to see whether any frogs have moved in. We have Green Tree Frogs in our yard.

The little Green Tree Frogs in our yard can jump really far. They would have no trouble jumping onto a plant and crawling up the long stalk, or just jumping directly on the flower. They are amazing!

Responding to a question about how frogs reach tall flowers, a Twitter user said, “The little Green Tree Frogs in our yard can jump really far. They would have no trouble jumping onto a plant and crawling up the long stalk, or just jumping directly on the flower. They are amazing!”.

In India, seven miniature frog species were discovered in the Western Ghats in 2017, after five years of extensive exploration. These frogs are so small that can comfortably sit even on a child’s thumbnail.
