Habitat and conservation

The eggs are deposited on leaves and the tadpoles develop in temporary bodies of water. It is not present in modified habitats. It is a widespread but uncommon species that can locally suffer from habitat loss caused by, e.g., logging and agriculture. It is present in a number of protected areas.
