A small frog with lime green stripes on brown on dorsal surface, cream coloured on ventral.
Found in a clump weeds growing over an exposed rock in a east-facing cut bank. We heard "peeping" and when it ceased on our approach, we carefully pulled back the plant root mat growing over the rock and the frog was found on the rock face.
