Striped Marsh Frog (and Spawn)

Description:

Females may reach a length of 75 millimetres (3.0 in) and males 70 millimetres (2.8 in).[1] They are a shade of brown on the dorsal surface. This colour can be light or dark; they can also be a red-brown on the dorsal surface. There are distinct darker stripes running down the frogs back (giving this species it name)

Habitat:

This species has been living and breeding in my yard since the 1990's. During the warmer months they can be heard (mostly at night) calling out with a tok tok tok sound and sometimes a machine gun type sound. They are very adaptable and lay there eggs in just about anything that has water in it.

Notes:

Pictures show frog spawn in a dish in my backyard and a picture probably of the female who laid the eggs earlier on
