[2][3][1] This diurnal frog lives in forests where the trees do not exceeed 20 meters in height.

[1] The adult male perches on the leaf litter and calls to the female frogs.

The frog reproduces through larval development, with a free-swimming tadpole stage.

What threat it faces comes from conversion of its habitat to spaces for livestock cultivation and agriculture, including both large cacao plantations and small subsistence farms that grow cacao, avocadoes, and bananas.

Because these small farms use traditional agroforestry practices that do not involve agrochemicals, scientists do not consider them a threat.
