This frog measures
from 2 3/8 to 3 1/2 inches (6-9 cm.) long, but can grow as large
as 4 1/4 inches. The basic body color is green to brown.
Look for an upper lip that is lighter and brighter
green than the head. This frog is easy to confuse with the mink frog,
which appears later in the season. The green frog is
found over the eastern half of the state in rivers, streams, lakes,
ponds, and wetlands with permanent water and emergent vegetation.
