Papurana daemeli is a species of "true frog", family Ranidae.

Ventral grounds colour varies from dirty white to light straw and is superimposed by some gray clouding.

[7] Tadpoles can grow to 60 mm (2.4 in) in total length and have long tails.

It occurs in rainforests, seasonally dry monsoon forests, and tropical woodlands, usually in association with permanent bodies of standing or slow-moving water (streams, swamps, lakes, pools, puddles, and lagoons).

It can also occur in disturbed habitats, such as rural gardens and urban areas.

[3][6] Papurana daemeli preys upon arthropods (spiders, shrimps, cockroaches, grasshoppers, beetles, moths) and other frogs.
