I was very surprised to find pickerel frogs around my house in the grass, on paved patios and even on my cement carport floor. I expected these frogs to be more closely tied to the water margin, in the riparian zone along streams and ponds. These pickerel frogs were a great distance from any body of water and were surely around the house to feed on insects attracted to night time lights. Background info on Pickerel Frogs from google AI The Pickerel frog (Lithobates palustris, formerly Rana palustris) is a medium-sized frog species native to eastern North America. Here's a breakdown of its key characteristics: Appearance: It has a tan, brown, or golden background color with two parallel rows of dark brown, reddish-brown, or black rectangular or square-shaped spots running down its back between prominent dorsolateral folds (ridges of skin along its sides). The undersides of its hind legs and groin are distinctively bright yellow or orange, which can be a distinguishing feature from similar species like the Northern Leopard frog. The belly is white. Size: Adults typically measure between 1¾ and 3 inches in length. Habitat: Pickerel frogs are found in a variety of moist habitats, including: Cool, clear streams and springs, often in forested areas. Woodland ponds, marshes, fens, and swamps. Ravine forests and meadows. Caves: They are particularly known for seeking refuge in caves and cave entrances, especially during hot summers and cold winters. Behavior and Diet: They are primarily nocturnal but can be active during the day after the breeding season. Pickerel frogs are carnivores, primarily feeding on insects, spiders, and other invertebrates. Tadpoles are herbivorous, grazing on algae and detritus. Call: The male's breeding call is a low-pitched snore lasting a couple of seconds, often given underwater. Defense: Pickerel frogs can emit a toxic secretion from their skin as a defense mechanism against predators. This secretion is irritating to humans and can be fatal to other amphibians if handled carelessly. Conservation Status: The Pickerel frog is currently listed as "Least Concern" by the IUCN and is considered stable across most of its range, although localized declines have been observed in some areas due to habitat loss and disease. The name "pickerel" might be linked to the resemblance of its spots to those on some species of pickerel fish, or perhaps, it was historically used as bait for these fish.
