The Black-spotted Sticky Frog (''Kalophrynus pleurostigma'') is a small frog with a black spot just in front of each of its hind legs. It releases a sticky substance when threatened, thereby making it an unpleasant meal for predators, allowing it to escape from harm. This species develops in the pitchers of some carnivorous ''Nepenthes'',〔Lim, K.K.P. & P.K.L. Ng 1991. ''The Raffles Bulletin of Zoology'' 39(1): 209–214.〕 a habitat that is fast diminishing locally. On a global scale, it is not yet considered threatened by the IUCN. ==References== * Diesmos, A., Alcala, A., Brown, R., Afuang, L., Gee, G., Sukumaran, J., Yaakob, N., Tzi Ming, L., Chuaynkern, Y., Thirakhupt, K., Das, I., Iskandar, D., Mumpuni, Inger, R., Stuebing, R., Yambun, P. & Lakim, M. 2004.
