LESSER SNOUTED TREE-FROG Scinax nasicus
The smallest of the "bathroom tree-frogs" and often found alongside the two larger species - leading the unwary to suspect that it may be a juvenile! Like other Scinax frogs this species is commonly found close to human settlements, being attracted to artificial lights to feed on insects.
