The Spring Peeper is a small frog native to North America, known for its distinctive, high-pitched call that signals the arrival of spring. Typically measuring about one to two inches in length, it has a light brown or tan body with dark crossbands. These frogs are often found in wetlands, marshes, and near ponds, where they thrive in moist environments. Spring Peepers are most active during the evening and nighttime, especially during warm, rainy nights. They play a crucial role in their ecosystem by controlling insect populations and serving as prey for various predators. Their calls are a familiar sound in many regions, marking the transition from winter to spring.
