- Underside not black to grey, belly mostly copper spotted
- fin tail not recticulated
- back without transparent edge
- upper crest starting near end of trunk, no big spots on the crest
- Total length:
up to about 42 mm
- The colour of the back varies, usually dark with tiny metallic
dots.
- From about 10 mm body length the four lower rows of labial teeth
are recognizable with a strong lens (picture)– so distinguishable
from Moor frog larvae. In order to see these lines separated a carefully
dabbed drop of saliva can be of help.
