SC mystery herp #5
Hey SC herpers - anyone want to comment on this specimen that was found on our first FMNH trip??
I believe this one is Acris gryllus, or the Southern Cricket Frog (Family: Hylidae). One of the characteristic features of this frog is the dark, clean cut stripe between two white stripes on the back of the thigh (as shown in the picture). They are relatively small (1.6-3.2 cm), have a triangle between their eyes that points to their posterior, and have tiny anal warts.
