Crouched, still, behind green fronds
She sits waiting.
Patience is her virtue.
Green frog, Rama Clamitans, female because if this were male, the tempanum (ear drum - circle near eye) would be larger than the eye.
Not a bull frog because of the dorsal fold (that ridge going from the eye down back) A bullfrog's ridge would only circle the tempanum.
The problem with this identification is the mottled chest. in none of my books or web sites do I see this mottling or read about it. If you know better, please tell me (Heather, I'm counting on you.)
The Green frog's sound is like the "plunk" of a banjo. I remember it by thinking that it sounds like Red Green playing the banjo. I use whatever works. Thanks Patty for giving me that frog CD.
