The lake bug-eyed frog (Theloderma lacustrinum) is a frog. It lives in Laos. Scientists have seen it in exactly one place: Ban Naxang Village near the Nam Lik Reservoir.[1][2][3]

The adult male frog is 17.0-20.6 mm long from nose to rear end. The skin on the frog's back is light brown in color with brown and black marks. The frog's belly is gray. The iris of the eye is the color of bronze metal. The frog's DNA shows that it is related to Theloderma lateriticum.[3]
