Glaucia's terrestrial nest-building frog (Adenomera glauciae) is a frog. It lives in Brazil. Scientists think it could also live in Colombia.[2][3][1]

Home

This frog lives in Amazon forests. People see it on the dead leaves on the ground. Scientists have seen it between 87 and 105 m (285 and 344 ft) above sea level.[1] Scientists first saw it in the Japurá River basin.[4]

Scientists have seen these frogs in a protected place, Estação Ecológica Juami-Japurá.[1]

Danger

Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out.[1]
