A new species of tiny, nocturnal, greenish frog has been discovered in the central Pacific region of Costa Rica. Measuring less than four centimeters in length, the dark green-spotted amphibian is known locally as the "spring frog" or "Rana de las nacientes" (Isthmohyla nacientes).

While the newly identified species thrives in local coffee plantations, it simultaneously faces environmental risks from the agrochemicals utilized in regional farming practices.
