IN SEARCH OF THE CRICKET FROG

papa-pepper (80) in animals • 7 years ago

It's a good thing that I've got help, or I might never achieve some goals.

Today I made a quest for myself and a few of the @little-peppers. The goal was to locate a Cricket Frog. I've seen a few frogs already this year and had been hearing the Cricket Frogs for a few days. Today, though, I wanted to find and photograph one. At the first pond, we had no luck, although we did locate a Leopard Frog.

It was at the second pond that Red-Pepper saw one of the tiny frogs jump in, and soon she was reaching deep into the pond to retrieve the creature. Thankfully, that little girl has got some skills and has been trained well. Sure enough, her efforts were not in vain!

Thanks to Red-Pepper locating and capturing a Cricket Frog, I now had the opportunity to photograph one. Interestingly enough, while I was photographing this one, she found another one, who also shows up in the photos below. Thanks Red-Pepper!

Wow... The littel girl has really taken after her Dad. I wish i could also go hunting here in Nigeria. Wondeful @papa-pepper. Since i couldn't hunt, i decided to create a STEMIT home for the less privilege,orphans, old and hanicarps. I believe STEEMIT can give them better lives

A good photograph is one that communicates a fact, touches the heart and leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it. It is, in a word, effective

The opening phrase is interesting, so it makes me interested to read the next sentence.

I appreciate the effort of the little girl looking for a toad, and she was successful. May he always succeed in many ways.

Never knew before now that they are various names given to frog. Learnt something new from your post, cricket frog and leopard frog. I used to call them by the name frog. When I see one someday, I can be able to identify it and also teach the person.
Red-Pepper is really brave

@papa-pepper, you do love frogs surely. I'm not a fan of them but this cricket frog looks so fragile and so appeals to me. But, why are they called cricket frogs? I was stunned to see you mention leopard frogs, why that name? I hope we don't have elephant frogs though😁😁

Cricket frogs are small, so maybe that is where the name comes from. The leopard frogs have spots.

You have found many frogs with very clear pictures, great. Do you think that the last frogs are male and female? both show different colors.

They come in a variety of colors and the color morph is not a sign of a certain sex.

I think I have heard those also called peeper frogs. There is a pond back behind us and we hear them in that direction, but we have also found them on trees.
