Keep Herp Calendar free
Hi, I'm Nick. I built Herp Calendar on my own and I keep it free, with no ads. If it has helped you find a herp this season, a small tip goes straight into the hosting and the data work. Only if you can spare it. Either way, I'm glad you're here.

Lithobates clamitans
Description
Lithobates clamitans or Rana clamitans, commonly known as the green frog, is a species of frog native to eastern North America. Adult green frogs range from 5–10 cm (2.0–3.9 in) in body length (snout to vent, excluding the hind legs).Wikipedia ↗
Habitat
Their habitat has also been impacted by human interaction via the development of roads, buildings, and other infrastructure and agriculture which involves the destruction of their habitat. The green frog is a widespread species native to North America, mainly occurring throughout eastern North America from the St. Lawrence River Valley in southeastern Canada to Northern Florida and Eastern Texas.Wikipedia ↗
When it's active
During this breeding period, an egg clutch consisting of 1000 to 7000 eggs is laid in surface films about 15–30 cm in diameter and are attached to vegetation in shallow water in order to protect the eggs from predators. Females may sometimes lay two clutches of eggs in a single season, with their size reaching a maximum of 98–105 mm.Wikipedia ↗
