Identification. This species has a dorsal coloration that ranges from medium brown to greenish yellow with a cream or yellow belly. It has yellow to orange spots on the back of the thigh, has toe webbing, and lacks con- spicuous tubercles.
Habitat. Scinax ruber is one of the most abundant frogs at WWS. They occupy primary and secondary forest as well as ruderal habitats. They have been collected on the sides of buildings, and they call from inside large plastic cisterns used to collect rainwater. The cisterns seem to greatly amplify the volume of their calls.
