Euphlyctis cyanophlyctis, commonly known as the blue-striped frog or Indian frog, is a distinctive amphibian found primarily in South Asia, particularly in India and surrounding regions. This medium-sized frog typically measures around 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) in length. Its most striking feature is the vibrant blue or turquoise stripes running along its body, contrasting sharply with a dark brown or grayish background. This coloration serves as a warning to potential predators about its toxicity.

Euphlyctis cyanophlyctis prefers moist habitats, often inhabiting rice paddies, ponds, and other freshwater areas. They are primarily nocturnal, becoming active during the night to forage for insects and small invertebrates. Breeding typically occurs during the monsoon season, when females lay eggs in shallow water, where tadpoles develop.

This species plays a vital role in its ecosystem, controlling insect populations while serving as prey for larger animals. While generally adaptable, Euphlyctis cyanophlyctis faces threats from habitat degradation and pollution. Conservation efforts are essential to ensure the survival of this unique frog, which reflects the health of its aquatic environment
