Cricket Frog


Acris Cepitans. The cricket frog is North America's smallest vertebrate with a length of .75-1.5 inches. This specimen was caught at Bachelor Pond. Despite their small body size, they can leap up to 3 feet in one jump. Typically females will lay one egg at a time which is attached to a leaf. Within just a few days the eggs hatch.
