Frog Pickerel Frogs are spotted, but with irregular rectangular brown spots in rows. This is the main way to tell them from Leopard Frogs, which have black oval spots. The basic colour is yellow-brown with orange on the groin and the underside of the back legs.
Pickerel frogs are especially common along streams and lake shores near inlets and outlets.
They also forage along grassy-sedge woods roads, roadsides, meadows and old fields. They are often found associated with Mink Frogs in vegetated water habitats and with Northern Leopard Frogs in land habitats. May. The male's call is a short low-pitched snore which does not carry far. Females produce a globular mass of about 1000 eggs attached to plants about 10 cm below the surface. These egg masses are not seen very often.
