    Default Help to identify this frog

    Does anyone know this little guys name? He's living in the greenhouse but not the usual local species I'm used to. His call is more of a click than a chirp like a spring peeper or grey tree frog.

    It turns out to be a Northern cricket frog, Acris crepitans.

    He would pose but not perform for the camera. I wanted to video him calling.
