Physical Description

Habitat

Typically found at an altitude of 0 to 1,848 meters (0 to 6,063 feet).[1]

Biome: lakes , water courses , wetlands

Ecology: It can be found on the margins of virtually any body of permanent or semi-permanent water; young may use temporary pools . It may disperse from water in wet weather, especially at night. It seeks cover under objects on land , underground, or in water when inactive . Eggs and larvae develop in shallow, slow- or non-flowing water.[2]
