Awesome! Was somebody looking over your shoulder when you took this photo? I can see it in the reflection, that's how sharp this photo is :) Posted 11 years ago

  Actually, that is my reflection in the frog's eye. I think I am present in the green frog close-up photo as well. Posted 11 years ago

The Northern green frog

The northern green frog is a subspecies of the green frog, ''Lithobates clamitans''. It is native to the northeastern North America and has been introduced to British Columbia. Its mating call sounds like the single note of a plucked banjo. It is also quite common in the pet trade.
