The skin of the frog's back is coffee or dark red in color with blue and white reticulations or other marks.

[3] This diurnal frog lives near streams in lowland forests, where it is associated with the leaf litter.

Scientists observed the frog between 858 and 1719 meters above sea level.

However, its habitat is subject to deforestation in favor of agriculture, livestock cultivation, and logging.

Scientists believe this frog might be part of the international pet trade but do not know if this poses a threat.
