Rana temporaria, commonly known as the common frog, is a species found across Europe and parts of Asia. It typically inhabits a variety of environments, including gardens, woodlands, and wetlands. This frog is characterized by its smooth skin, which can vary in color from green to brown, often with dark spots. The common frog is an important part of its ecosystem, serving as both predator and prey. It primarily feeds on insects and other small invertebrates. During the breeding season, Rana temporaria can be found in ponds and other bodies of water, where it lays clusters of eggs.
