White foam egg­nests were found on the sides of the wooden trays. Males were calling during the day and night, but more so at night. In some areas, the habitat was dry, and what little water that was present was in the wooden trays, so the frogs were limited to these sites for breeding. Some frogs were calling from perches within broad­leaf trees. The surrounding habitat was undisturbed monsoonal evergreen forest with mostly broad­leaf trees.</paragraph>
