What it does
This frog is nocturnal. It has been seen at night near mountain streams. During the day, they have been seen hiding in bromeliad plants. The frogs breed in May and June. The male frog's call sounds like "boop boop boop boop", but individual frogs and frogs in different geographic locations can sound slightly different. The female frog lays eggs in pools of water with silty bottoms.
