Reed Frog

 

Widely distributed in the low and mid altitudes of western ghats. Distinct eye pattern and the brown dorsum with golden yellow stripes extending from the eye to the groin are the key characteristics.  These bush frogs enter slits in Ochlandra reeds, created by boring insects, to roost in the non breeding time and spend the days. They call from these slits or from nearby bushes during heavy rains. The eggs are laid inside the reeds and are guarded by the male and female also in most cases.
