The Napo lime tree frog (Sphaenorhynchus carneus) is a frog. It lives in Venezuela, Guyana, French Guiana, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil. Scientists think it may also live in Bolivia. It lives between 50 and 140 meters above sea level.[3][1][2]
The adult male frog is 15.1 to 19.8 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 19.0 to 22.5 mm long.[1]
This frog can change color. At night, this frog is pale green with lighter lines. During the day, it is dark green with reddish-brown marks.[1]
The adult frogs live in partly open areas. When the males sing for the females, they sit partway in the water.[1]
