Smaller than a dime and chirps like a cricket. Researchers found it by scooping up leaf litter and then sorting through it bit by bit.

I could imagine that! (Of course, it depends on what region they come from.)

I see you a tiny snake and raise you a bumble bee bat. Weighs less than a penny. From this Serious Facts FB post.
