The termite nest frog is a moderately small-sized frog. It possess a total length of 45 mm, and the upper surface of its body is generally olive brown in colour, with dark markings. The life of the termite nest frog is very interesting. It is mostly found in termitaria, or under stones in association with large black scorpions. When disturbed, they crawl over the scorpions, but when the scorpions pass over them in turn, they flatten out and freeze. This species is an excellent burrower in soft soil, and usually remains with the nose above the ground. It is also a good climber, and can easily climb walls up to a considerable height. This frog is found in South India.
