Spring Peeper

Description

The spring peeper is a tan, grey, or brown frog with a dark cross on its dorsa (thus the Latin name crucifer, meaning cross-bearer), though sometimes the marking may be indistinct. Dark lines can also be found between the eyes and in a crossband on the hindlimbs of P. crucifer. It has a body length between less than 25 mm (0.98 in) to 38 mm (1.5 in) and a mass between 3 and 5 g (0.11 and 0.18 oz). Unlike some other Pseudacris species, P. crucifer does not have white lines on its lips, but its lips may be lighter than its head.
