This frog has unusual coloration: Red-orange stripes down its sides and backbone against a black background.

[2][3][1] This frog inhabits primary and longstanding secondary rainforests, though it is not limited to these habitats.

[1] The male frog finds a high perch and calls to the females in a buzzing voice.

The frogs can reproduce all year, with reproductive capacity limited by food and bromeliad breeding sites.

It may be in danger in some locations because of deforestation in favor of agriculture and overharvesting for the international pet trade.
