They mostly use the sit and wait strategy. Once prey items have been sighted, they will stalk and seize them. The plains leopard frog will also actively forage either terrestrially or at the waters edge. Reproduction Breeding takes places anywhere from February-October. Most move from overwintering sites to breeding sites in the spring.
Males engage in sexual displays on the ground.
Breeding rates, although variable, seem to peak following rains. Eggs are deposited in still, temporary or permanent shallow ponds or pools. The eggs are light gray in color. In Oklahoma, most clutches found contained 4000-6500 eggs, but some with fewer than 200. Hatching occurs in 5 to 20 days and larvae transform about three months after eggs are deposited.
