The membrane will be considerably larger than the eye in the males and about the same size as the eye in the females. The Bronze Frog is closely related to the Green Frog, Rana clamitans melanota , which attains lengths around 4 inches. The Green Frog is virtually identical except that it may have dark markings in the form of spots that may be connected to form blotches on their dorsal surface. The dorsal coloration is similar to the Bronze Frog, but some specimens as seen here are exceptionally colored with dark green. The ventral coloration of the Green Frog is usually white.
Males are often a bright yellow as shown here.
The Bronze Frog is found in the southeastern United States from eastern Texas along the Gulf to northern Florida and southern South Carolina. Another photo of the Green Frog. Previous Page - Pig Frog Back to species identification page.
