Ingerana baluensis is a small but stocky frog. The body proportions are peculiar: The head appears to be a bit too big and the pelvic region slightly too short for that size of a frog. most specimens reach 21–25 mm snout-vent length.
The occurrence of this frog is spotty. They can be found in certain areas, but usually in small numbers. We saw some individuals at a small waterfall, where they preferred to sit vertically on the rock.

It may not be rare, but this is a frog not often encountered by the non-expert naturalist. Little is know about its ecology. Details about its reproductive mode remain unknown.
It differs from the other known species from Borneo (I. rajae) by its smaller size and visible tympanic ring.
We found these frogs often associated with vertical rock faces and cascades at times of low water levels in small forest streams.
