Whenever it rains (which is frequently now that we are officially in rainy season), the air is filled with the hypnotic sound of what seemed to be crickets or something of the sort. At night their sound is like a metronome, lulling me to sleep. I was told by my friend Gina that they were "sapitos" ("little toads"), but couldn't believe that a little toad would make that kind of noise. Plus, even the locals insisted that they were "grillos" (crickets). One night as I was leaving Gina's house, I asked her again about the origin of the noise and she said she would prove it to me. We started to look through the plants by the door and found this little guy, who stayed in one spot long enough for me to collect the photographic proof.
