The adult male frog is about 45-56 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is about 65-77 mm long. The skin of the frog's back is very green but it can be brown. There are disks on its toes for climbing. The belly is yellow or white in color.[3]

The adult frog makes a bubble foam near the end of the water in a rice paddy, marsh, or other place with water. The male frog sometimes digs a hole for the eggs. When the eggs hatch, the foam turns into liquid. The liquid goes into the paddy or pool, and the tadpoles go with it.[3]

The tadpoles can be 40 mm or even 50 mm long. Tadpoles they have a long tail with small spots on it. The young frogs are 17-19 mm long from nose to rear end.[3]
