Description
Habitat
Ecology: It is found perching
on leaves and stems 1-3 m
above the ground
in primary
lower montane
forest
. It particularly prefers forest clearings, forest edges and river
edge
habitat
where it can often be seen in abundance
. The males call
at night. This is presumably a direct developing species, like other species in the genus.[1]
