Spotted Chorus Frog





In my opinion the spotted chorus frog is one of the coolest frogs that we have in the hill country of Texas. This is a small frog, similar in size and stature to that of the Blanchard's cricket frog. I have found them on a few occasions but most recently found on 5/23/10 in a stock pond on a ranch on the edge of town. The species is incredibly variable in its appearance, ranging from white with a black eye bar, to green with brown spots. I have included a few pictures in order to show the color differences.
