An awesome gliding tree frog which is rare and endemic only to good primary rainforest in Borneo. Looks similar to the Wallace's flying frog which is larger and more common but lack of the bluish pigment. Described not too long ago. This is one of the most beautiful frogs in Borneo but not much is known about this species as it usually stays up in the tree canopy.
For years, since I first read of disk-winged bats, I've been peering into unfurled leaves of heliconias and prayer plants in Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil. Today I finally scored – Thyroptera tricolor, Spix's Disk-winged Bat! The five species of this genus have tiny suction cups by their thumbs and heels to cling to the inside of these leaves, where they live during the day.
Habitat: primary montane forest; elev. 1800 m. Found hopping on the ground at night. Female.

Field Notes - tiny jumping spider. was too excited to note vital sizes... going by the 3mm rope... it'd be about 5mm in body length.
