  5. GREEN FROG

  6. Green Frogs are common in lakes, ponds and streams. Green Frogs eat a great variety of small land and water creatures. Beetles, bugs, spiders, ants, moth larvae and snails are the big items.

  7. WOOD FROG

  9. Wood Frogs live in damp forests or mixed woods. They eat a variety of insects and other small invertebrates, especially spiders, beetles, bugs, moth larvae, slugs and snails.

  10. Northern Leopard Frog

  11. Northern Leopard Frogs, also called meadow or grass frogs, are bright grass-green with oval black spots. You may see them in old fields, meadows, grassy-sedge woods roads and grassy roadside ditches.

  12. Leopard Frogs eat many insects and other invertebrates. Since they spend so much time in grassy places, they eat a lot of agricultural pest insects

  13. Pickerel Frog

  14. Pickerel Frogs are spotted, but with odd shaped rectangular brown spots in rows. Pickerel frogs are especially common along streams and lake shores

  15. Pickerel Frogs eat ants, spiders, bugs, beetles, sawfly larvae, moth larva and a variety of other insects.

  16. MINK FROG

  17. Mink Frogs are generally green to brown, often spotted or mottled. Their preferred habitat is quiet waters with lots of plants like lily pads and pickerel weed.

  18. Mink Frogs eat a variety of land and water creatures, particularly ants, beetles, bugs, moth larvae, spiders and flies. When picked up, they smell like a mink (or rotting onions, if you can't quite recall the odour of mink).

  19. BULLFROG

  20. Bullfrogs are our largest frog. They are found in quiet coves of lakes with lots of vegetation, especially water lilies. Most are green or yellow-green, but sometimes a blue Bullfrog turns up.

  21. The Bullfrog menu includes birds, other frogs, fish, even their own tadpoles, as well as the usual insects. When held by the hind legs, Bullfrogs may let out a startling scream or squeal. Bullfrog tadpole How to hold a Bullfrog
