Description
Habitat
Ecology: It occurs in the foothill rainforest at Aieme Creek
, and is common in patches of relatively undisturbed habitat
around some of the villages west of Mount
Obree. It does not appear to be particularly tolerant
of habitat disturbance as it is absent from the adjacent
secondary forest
that is regenerating. It is presumed to breed
by direct development
, probably breeding on the ground
or in moss on tree
trunks
