Rana clamitans
Green frogs are green, greenish brown, brownish, yellowish green, and olive, with some rare individuals being blue. They are generally brighter in front with small, random black spots. Their legs have dark bands across them and their skin is yellowish or white below the bands. Males usually have a bright yellow throat. Their tympanum ( visible external ear on the side of their heads) is large. The tympanum is much larger than the eye in males and is the same size as the eye in females. They have a well defined back ridge that extends from the back of the eye and continues the length of their body. Their toes are well webbed and their first fingers do not extend beyond their second fingers. The adults are 7.5 to 12.5 cm in length (3 to 5 inches
