This frog is 24 – 32.0 mm long from nose to rear end. The skin of the frog's back is brown in color.[3]
This frog lives in forests where the trees grow close together and on smaller woody plants near the edges of forests. The frogs lay eggs in pools in July and August. The tadpoles swim in the pools.[1]
Human beings cut down the forests where the frog lives.[1] Chemicals meant to kill pests, chemicals that make farm plants grow, and pollution can kill this frog.[3]
