Green Frogs (Lithobates clamitans), female (top) and male (bottom), taken April 26, 2026, in Georgia, US

A pair of green frogs enjoying a quiet afternoon together! This male and female have been hanging out around the edges of the koi pond for a few days now. In this species, males are significantly smaller with larger tympanum and brighter color than females, gaining a greenish throat during the breeding season to display their fitness. In contrast, females stay dull, appearing a brownish-gray with a white throat and underbelly for increased camouflage. These pictures offer a look at the differences between the two!

today's funky frog of the day is the green frog (Lithobates clamitans) - this stunning example is a blue morph, caused by a lack of yellow pigment in the skin! this is one of the most common frogs in eastern north america, and show some diversity in their coloration, although usually not as intensely blue as this fellow.
