This tiny, terrestrial
frog species lives near small puddles and ponds in rural areas and secondary
forest. Its colour pattern is quite distinctive from other species of
Narrow-mouthed Frog. It can be hard to find, on account of its small size
and its habit of lying concealed in the grass or under leaf litter. Its call
is a series of rapidly repeated clicking sounds.
