Hylarana erythraea can be considered a commensal species.

It takes advantage of human

activities and is abundant in agricultural areas, ditches along roads, irrigation ponds, etc.
The dorsal side is green with a yellow glandular fold running from the eye to the anus. It is
white-lipped.
H. erythraea is agile, shy, and a strong jumper. Males usually are around 40 mm, females
reach 75 mm snout-vent length
Inger & Stuebing (2005) described the call as a "squeaky warble."
The tadpoles of this species live in stagnant, usually sun-exposed waters with abundant
water plants. Tadpoles grow up to 4050 mm. Their coloration is unique and should not be
confused with any other species. Note the partially red iris and marbling on dorsum and
flanks. The tail tapers to a flagellum, often with a light lateral stripe. Tadpole can become
darker towards metamorphosis
The common green frog (Hylarana erythraea) is a frog species of in the true frog family Ranidae;
some sources still use the old name Rana erythraea. It lives in Southeast Asia and is also known as
green paddy frog, red-eared frog or leaf frog. The last name, however, commonly refers to the
Neotropical tree frogs which make up the subfamily Phyllomedusinae. These are not closely related
to H. erythraea, belonging to family Hylidae instead.

Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist
montane forests, freshwater lakes, intermittent freshwater lakes, freshwater marshes, intermittent
freshwater marshes, rural gardens, heavily degraded former forest, irrigated land, seasonally
flooded agricultural land, and introduced vegetation
