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.

The species ranges from southern China through Thailand to West Malaysia and Sumatra. In Singapore it is quite common in abandoned rural land, and parks and gardens.
