If the skin feels rough and warter its probably a cricket frog. Most other small frogs, like peepers and chorus frogs, have smooth skin. Blanchard's cricket frog is usually found on the open sandy or muddy areas around streams and ponds. If you walk around a pond during the summer you can usually see lots of little cricket frogs hopping into the water. This makes them pretty easy to catch.
Cricket frogs call later in the summer than most frogs.
Listen for their call, which sounds like hitting marbels together, around late May, June, and July. The female deposits around 400 eggs in the aquatic vegetation and they hatch in a few days. In West Virginia, recently transformed cricket frogs have been found in September. I have found newly metamorphosed frogs in July and early August in Kentucky. Blanchard's cricket frog has been found in the western counties along the Ohio and Kanawha Rivers in West Virginia.
