What is this guy?

[BenignVanilla]

Anyone have any idea what this guy is? And JMK, if you say, "A frog". I will
come over there and beat you with one of your koi.

Get a picture of its back, so people can ID the colouration that way to..

I've tried. My green/bronze frogs are cool with me. They let me take
pictures, touche them, etc. This guy is quite shy. We have some smaller guys
to that jump in when we get within 20 feet of the pond. We call them peepers
as they making a "peep" sound as they jump in.

Really? Even with the sharp contrast in markings? I always thought greeens
had less complicated marks.

You're near ATL, right?

Come on down to my house any evening and you can have as many frogs as
you can catch. They don't hide from me, I suspect it's because they
know they have me badly outnumbered and that I'm a little afraid of
them after watching too many B-movies as a kid:

My wife says the noise is driving her nuts. (From the frogs, not me.
Or at least that's what I -thought- she meant...)

Black spots on the back?? It looks like a leapord frog.. If there are blacks
circulair spots on the back, it is most likely one of the leapords. Used to
catch them as a kid and used them in the science lab in grade 8.

Green frogs are known for making a noise when they jump into the water.

I tend towarrds gree frog also on ID. I have a few in my pond that look
like that. *smile*

Bullfrogs also squeak when surprised
into jumping in the water.
Have you heard your new visitor yet?
That ought to help ID it.

Lady Bullfrog here has moved onto the island
in the big pond. She seems to have settled in.
Treefrog taddies are growing nicely in the bog.

LOL! Well that makes three or four different frogs that
'squeak' when they jump in the water. I had this
happen to me several years ago - nearly scared me to death.
A guy on this group said the frogs I have are Leopard frogs.
Now all the frogs squeak when they hear me approach the
pond ... LOL

Kathy, so glad your pond life has settled in ... now we just
gotta get your teens well....

Well! If you feel that way then! (muttering under my breath about being
censored in a newsgroup!)

On the IHMP frog page we have a link to the frogtracker site which lets you
here frogs, http://www.iheartmypond.com/Animals/Frogs/default.asp. My
greenie's definately sound like these. My toad is dead on. The spring
peepers sound similar to the peep before jump frogs, but they have not been
a chorus at night.

Oh Thank you!

BV,
It's a frog, and it's green with spots like a leopard!

Therefore it must be a leopard frog?

I kill me!

I too thought it looked like one of my young female green frogs. I sent
an e-mail to BV but it bounced so I forgot about it. My females have
brown striped legs like that and the same colors. Males are much more
dark green and at first appear to be a different species to some.
