Green Frogs have the appearance of something like minute Bullfrogs, but their color varies from yellow to green or bronze, at times with brown spots on the backside. Such skin colors are better viewed through microscopy under a microscope like the stereo dissecting microscope. Certain males specifically frogs in shaded woodland ponds, are black on the backside. A few metallic blue frogs have also been discovered. Find for a ridge on top of the eye that extends part way down the back, this will differentiate Green Frogs from Bullfrogs, in Bullfrogs the ridge curves down right at the back of the eardrum. Such part of the frogs can be better viewed with the aid of microscopy using a microscope such as stereo dissecting microscope. Green Frogs are typical in lakes, ponds and streams. Virtually any body of fresh water is possible habitation, whether it is small or large, transient or permanent, with or without plant life. Procreation is in June and July. Males proliferate among the shallows. The bigger dominant males contest other males that try to enter the most excellent vegetated spawning locations. The male’s call has been contrasted to the sound of a loose banjo string. You will hear it day and night but particularly during the first hours of daylight. Subsequent to spawning, the female extrudes from one thousand five hundred to approximately five thousand eggs in a film-like mass among the surface vegetation. Green Frogs consume a huge variety of tiny land and water creatures.

Wood Frogs are brown or tan-colored, which can be better observed by means of microscopy using a microscope such as stereo dissecting microscope. A dark brown mask on the sides of the head has merited them the name robber frog, although the mask is not apparent in breeding males. Certain females in red sandstone regions may become red colored of which can be better examined by means of microscopy using a microscope such as stereo dissecting microscope. Wood Frogs and Spring Peepers are the primary amphibians to surface in spring. The males, which commonly far outnumber the females, assemble on the surface in vegetated sections of ponds. Males are vocal all night long, if temperatures are more than freezing. Breeding is done by May in most areas. Females lay fist-sized jelly masses of approximately a thousand eggs. The tadpoles grow quickly. With the exception for breeding, Wood Frogs inhabit in damp deciduous or mixed woods. They start feeding after the spawning season. They consume a range of insects and other tiny invertebrates, particularly spiders, bugs, moth larvae and snails among others.

Northern Leopard Frogs also known as meadow or grass frogs are bright grass-green with oval black spots of which can be better viewed through microscopy using a microscope such as stereo dissecting microscope. They use up a lot of time searching in grassy sites during the summer. Leopard Frogs surface from underwater hiding in spring. Their mating call is a long rattling snore followed by some quick grunts. Females lay approximately three thousand eggs in a loose oval mass in shallow water. Freshly hatched tadpoles remain in a close group for some time. The tadpoles grow quickly and develop to frogs during July and August. Leopard Frogs consume numerous insects and other invertebrates. Since they use up so much time in grassy places, they consume a lot of agricultural pest insects. Juveniles consume aquatic insects. Adults go back to aquatic habitats in the season of autumn to hibernate.
