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.

Description

The Columbia spotted frog (Rana luteiventris) is a North American species of frog. The Columbia spotted frog is a medium-sized frog reaching lengths of up to 3.5 in (89 mm).Wikipedia ↗

Habitat

These frogs were found to need specific habitat characteristics within these broader habitat characteristics. Adult spotted frogs inhabit mostly seasonally flooded sites, where the water source is constant, but at certain times of the year, increases exponentially in both the amount and level of water available.Wikipedia ↗

When it's active

Males present a chorus to the females to try to attract a mate. The male frog arrives at the breeding grounds before the female becomes reproductively active and establishes an oviposition site.Wikipedia ↗
