Fejervarya limnocharis is a species of frog found in South East Asia and parts of Indochina. It is known under many common names, including Boie's wart frog, rice field frog, and Asian grass frog. Molecular studies of the species complex (after Boulenger) suggest that there may be multiple species involved.
Snout pointed, projecting beyond mouth. Canthus obtuse, loreal oblique, more or less concave. Internarial space is longer than interorbital width, which is much less than width of the upper eyelid. Tympanum distinct, half to twothirds the diameter of eye. Fingers obtusely pointed, first longer than second, subarticular tubercles very prominent. Tibiotarsal articulation reaches tympanum or naris. Toes obtuse or with slightly swollen tips, half webbed, subarticular tubercles small and prominent. Body with small tubercles, sometimes small longitudinal folds are present, ventrum smooth except belly and thighs which are granular posteriorly. Male with loose gular region, with brown or blackish W-shaped mark, fore limbs stronger, with pad like subdigital tubercles under first finger. Snout-vent length 39–43 mm.

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report an Alpine Cricket Frog sighting in Ho Chi Minh City on a given day, based on 25 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 4th most-seen of the 9 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December and January
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report an Alpine Cricket Frog in Ho Chi Minh City on a given day, against under 5% in April and October–November, the lowest months. Those are among Ho Chi Minh City's driest months, with about 20 mm of rain a month against 220 mm in October.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Alpine Cricket Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
8th of 13
Of the 13 cities where we can rate Alpine Cricket Frog sightings, Ho Chi Minh City ranks 8th at about 30%. The best odds are in Kuching (Malaysia, about 40%), Jakarta (Indonesia, about 40%) and Tainan (Taiwan, about 30%).
Same family: Dicroglossidae
The closest relatives of the Alpine Cricket Frog that you can see in Ho Chi Minh City (family Dicroglossidae, Fork-tongued Frogs) are Asian Peters Frog (about 20%) and Round-tongued Floating Frog (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Alpine Cricket Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Ho Chi Minh City (25 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
