Brookesia micra, one of the smallest chameleons, inhabits the leaf litter of Madagascar's Nosy Hara island. It displays cryptic coloration, aiding in camouflage. Typically found in forest undergrowth, it feeds on small invertebrates. Its diminutive size and unique habitat make it a fascinating subject of study.

Brookesia micra is native to Madagascar, specifically found on the small island of Nosy Hara, which is located off the northwestern coast of Madagascar.

The typical habitat for Brookesia micra includes dry deciduous forests with a warm climate. The region experiences a tropical climate with distinct wet and dry seasons.

Brookesia micra occupies the forest floor and leaf litter where it camouflages itself among the debris. This species is primarily terrestrial and is adapted to a microhabitat within the forest ecosystem, playing a role in the leaf litter decomposition process and serving as prey for larger predators.
