Intermediate Puddle Frog

Intermediate puddle frogs inhabit swampy areas of primary rainforests and rely heavily on undisturbed raffia palm areas and the humid leaf litter surrounding these swamp sites. Like other members of the Phrynobatrachus genus, it is believed to utilize shallow, temporary water bodies, such as seasonal puddles and forest ponds, to deposit surface clutches of small eggs. The diet of Phrynobatrachus intermedius can be inferred from its genus, as there are few to no specific dietary studies on it. Because the intermediate puddle frog is a relatively small leaf-litter and swamp-dwelling frog, its diet consists of any live terrestrial arthropods small enough to fit into its mouth. Its diet includes small ants, termites, beetles, flies, midges, spiders, cockroaches, grasshoppers, butterflies, worms, and more.
