Northern Cricket Frog - Acris crepitans
This is a very small frog that is brown with stripes on legs and green spotting. Formerly found on L.I. and S.I. in wetland habitats.
Northern cricket frogs are thought to hibernate in crayfish burrows and cracks in pond banks (Irwin et al. 1999). They emerge from winter dormancy in late April. Breeding is stimulated by rain, and occurs from late May to July (Burkett 1984).
