About Boana picturata (Boulenger, 1899)
Boana picturata (Boulenger, 1899) males measure 46–53 mm (1.8–2.1 in) in snout–vent length, while females measure 62–69 mm (2.4–2.7 in). This species has extremely large eyes with yellow irises, and a truncated snout. The skin on its back is smooth, and the skin on its belly is slightly granular. Its dorsal coloration is variable: most individuals have a reddish-brown background with round yellow marks, while some have a dark brown back with brown markings.
Its natural habitats are humid tropical and premontane forests, including closed-canopy secondary forests. It inhabits vegetation located close to streams, and it is an uncommon species. Likely threats to this species include habitat loss caused by agricultural development (including illegal crops, logging, and human settlement), as well as pollution from the spraying of illegal crops.
