The common green frog is a frog of the true frog family Ranidae; some sources still use the old name Rana erythraea. It lives in South-east Asia and is also called the green paddy frog, red-eared frog, common greenback or leaf frog. Males grow to 30–45 mm in snout-vent length and females to 50–75 mm, and tadpoles to 36 mm (Wikipedia, general species account).
Similar frogs from north-eastern India and adjacent regions, formerly included in this species, are now separated as Hylarana tytleri (Wikipedia, general species account).
