The adult male frog is about 29.8 to 41.5 mm in length from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is about 46.5 to 49.7 mm long. This frog is brown to green to reddish brown in color with a white belly.[1]
This frog lives in forests most of the time, but many of them move to areas with few trees to lay eggs. For example, they may go to temporary bodies of water or flooded ditches near the edges of the forest.[1]
