As profound tranquility blankets the late-night forest, a chorus of tiny singers—White-lipped Tree Frogs (Polypedates leucomystax)—begins. The edges of ponds become their vocal battleground. Their unique "tok, tok, tok" songs pierce the silence, a hopeful serenade to attract partners. Here, one such diminutive performer waits patiently under the nocturnal veil.
