Lithobates clamitans, commonly known as the green frog, is a species of true frog found primarily in North America. They are easily recognized by their vibrant green coloration and distinctive ridges along their backs. Green frogs typically inhabit freshwater environments such as ponds, lakes, and marshes. These frogs are known for their loud, distinctive calls, which resemble a plucked banjo string. They are primarily active during the warmer months and feed on a diet of insects, small invertebrates, and occasionally small fish. Lithobates clamitans plays an important role in its ecosystem as both predator and prey.
