The Veragua cross-banded treefrog or drab treefrog (Smilisca sordida) is a frog that lives in Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Costa Rica and Colombia. Scientists have seen it as high in the hills as 1525 meters above sea level.[3][1]
The adult male frog is 36.2 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 56.3 mm long. They have gray-brown skin on the back and a lighter belly. It has purple skin where the legs meet the body. They have light marks over their eyes and stripes on their legs.[1]
This frog lives near streams and rivers in forests. They lay eggs at the time of year when the streams are not so deep.[1]
The tadpoles are 3.2 cm long. They live at the bottom of the stream and hold onto the rocks with their mouths.[1]
