Green frogs feed mostly on invertebrates and small vertebrates including, beetles, flies, grasshoppers, caterpillars, spiders, frogs, and fish. They are usually found in shallow freshwater such as springs, ditches, creeks, and along the edges of lakes and ponds. |

Breeding begins in early summer and continues until August. The call of the males is a single, twanging note. Females will deposit their eggs in a single layer on the waters surface. The tadpoles overwinter and transform into adults the summer after the eggs are laid. Like many other types of frogs, the green frog has a wide range of predators. Their sure number and abundance make them a great snack for many of their predators. |
