The critter-hunters found the new species on the tiny islet of Nosy Hara, just off the northern coast of Madagascar.
“It's always an exciting moment to discover a new species,” says Frank Glaw of the Zoological State Collection of Munich in Germany, who wore a head torch to hunt down the specimens.
Once back in the lab, Glaw used genetic analysis to confirm he had found a new species and published the research in PLoS One . “Brookesia micra was very special because… it is distinctly smaller than all other known species.”
The chameleon measures 29mm (1.1 inches) from its nose to the end of its tail, placing it top among miniature lizards. Two types of gecko from the Caribbean have shorter body lengths, but B. micra is smaller when tails are taken into account.
B micra lives in the leaf litter during the day, which can make it very hard to spot. At dusk, it climbs onto tree branches 5 to 20cm (2 to 8 inches) off the ground to sleep. Staying close to the forest floor, Glaw and his colleagues searched through fallen foliage and branches to find the little mites.
