Sushil's bush frog or Andiparai Shola Bush Frog (Raorchestes sushili) is a frog. It lives in India. Scientists have seen it in Valaparai in the Western Ghat mountains.^[2]^[3]^[1]

People have seen this frog in evergreen forests between 1000 and 1600 meters above sea level. The frog sits on plants 1-3 m above the ground. People have not seen this frog in places that human beings have changed.^[1]

Like other frogs in Raorchestes, this frog hatches out of its egg as a small frog.^[1]

Scientists believe this frog is in danger of dying out because it lives in a small place.^[1]
