[3] This diurnal frog has been observed on the leaf litter near streams and in wetlands on mountains.

It has been observed in some disturbed habitats, such as secondary forest near pine plantations, a disused fish farm, and passion fruit and chili plantations.

[1] The frog has been observed near Yanachaga-Chemillén National Park but there are no reports of it living within its boundaries.

Its principal threat is habitat loss associated with agriculture, especially chili pepper and granadilla and their associated agrochemicals.

People replant eucalyptus and pine trees, but these are not native to the area.
