Fejervarya limnocharis, commonly known as the Indian rice frog or the paddy frog, is a small to medium-sized amphibian native to Southeast Asia and parts of South Asia. This frog typically measures about 4 to 6 cm (1.6 to 2.4 inches) in length. It is characterized by its slender body, long limbs, and large, prominent eyes. The skin is usually a green or brownish color, often with darker spots or stripes, allowing it to blend into its grassy or aquatic habitats.

Primarily found in rice fields, wetlands, and marshes, the Indian rice frog is well-adapted to a semi-aquatic lifestyle. It feeds on a diet of insects and other small invertebrates. Breeding occurs in shallow water, where females lay clusters of eggs that develop into tadpoles.

This species is notable for its ability to thrive in disturbed habitats, making it an important indicator of environmental health. Its calls, a series of distinct notes, are often heard during the breeding season, adding to the soundscape of its wetland habitats. Overall, Fejervarya limnocharis plays a crucial role in its ecosystem, both as a predator and as a prey species.
