Also known as the Chinese edible frog or Taiwanese frog, this frog can grow up to 4 1/2 inches in length. (Females are usually larger than males.) Their main diet consists of insects.  Its natural habitats are freshwater marshes, pasture land, rural gardens, open excavations, irrigated land, seasonally flooded agricultural land, and canals and ditches.

These frogs are commonly found in wet markets, seafood markets, and pet stores. In wet markets, they are usually sold per piece or per kilogram. The medium-sized frogs are sold as pets in pet stores, and smaller frogs are sold as live food for arowanas.

These frogs are often used in China for frog’s legs dishes, and in the Philippines, they are used in adobo dishes. The frog’s forelimbs and hind legs are fried in oil, while in the adobo method (in which the entire frog is utilized), they are cooked in soy sauce and vinegar.
