The rice frog is a small amphibian that lives on rice fields, ponds, and wet meadows in South and Southeast Asia.
The rice frog differs from related species by folds on its back and adaptation to life among rice fields. It is beneficial for nature because it eats harmful insects and serves as food for birds and snakes.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
