Default What is this guy?

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...)

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

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.

Looks like a leopard frog

Only I'll go one further and say southern leopard frog

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.
