Common paddy field frog can be distinguished
from similar two other Fejervarya species by the absence of the
longitudinal ridges on the dorsal area of the body and having more or less
round tubercles instead. It is one of the commonest frog of the island found in paddy fields, streams, ponds and such other water bodies. However sometimes
it encounters even far away from the water. It is distributed in both wet and
dry zones of the country below about 1400m a.s.l
