green frog
Verdant wetland hopper
A green frog is a common North American frog species found near ponds, lakes, and streams.
Despite the name, green frogs range from bright green to bronze or brown.
They're distinguished by prominent ridges running down their backs and a call that sounds like a plucked banjo string.
