This frog disappears for most of the year and suddenly reappears in groups once the conditions are right for breeding. Its call is most distinctive with a series of droning moans followed by a series of chirpy little 'burrrrrr's. It looks very similar to the L. gracilenta described above but is larger and its colouration much deeper, including its reddish eyes. More tree frogs are included in the Declining Frogs page.
