[koolbowser961]

I just heared this right now 8D

[UltimateThanos]

These things are all over my grandma's neighborhood!

[garciaalex41]

lol,we were studying this in science today!!!

[SteffersFavourites]

If I heard that in a forest, I'd so think it was a tiny bird.

[ooosteve]

this thing looks just like the frog in my video....check it out tell me what you think :)

[kd4adv]

we hear these at night down near the marshes near Nibbs Creek.

[DavidCappola]

i hear them every night in my yard but i can never find them! i have no trouble finding the gray tree frogs though because they're always hanging out near my pool. Where should I look for the spring peepers?

[Demerze1]

@DavidCappola In my experience they like to hang out in bushes.

WoW...just like a coqui....only it sings Qui...not Co-Qui

[DevilMaster]

Wow, it sounds like a bird!

[mycompasstv]

[ashthegreat]

[TheNatureVideos]

[starshock01]

spend a night camping next to a marsh and you'll wake up with a tent full of them

[sdzoo2000]

[eighthrock]

Little buggers are everywhere

[karakzhen]

Cool, that you actually caught one on film!

[maxyou4000]

[staffxsarge]

[ManectricRules]

nice diastema

[RMBolton]

Nope, not Eleutherodactylus diastema. This is a Spring Peeper (Pseudacris crucifer) in S. Ontario. It is interesting that you mention diastema, however, as that is a very common frog in the Costa Rican rainforest where I recently lived for a month. The call is VERY similar to the Spring Peeper.

[ManectricRules]

i posted this comment long time ago. Well yeah im from panama diastema is a very common frog here to. The tax changed tho.. it has changed from Eleutherodactylus to Diasporus...so now it is Diasporus diastema. a quick fact you might want to know.

[RMBolton]

Yes, indeed. You will find with most taxonomic changes that acceptance is a slow process, if it happens at all. I still refer to the species as E. diastema as Diasporus has yet to become an accepted name.

Even after wide acceptance, many people will continue to disagree or prefer to use the longest accepted name for clarity.

[RMBolton]

Have a look on the Integrated Taxonomic Information System for the currently accepted name for any species.

[Astromchaser]

@RMBolton Coqui frogs sound very simmiler to Spring peepers. Except they make a double chrip and the frist one is lower in ptich but the following chirp is almost identical to the spring peepers.

[kaiserblade1]

I've heard them all my life from my home here in Central NY, but never seen one live ! I need to go out to the marshy areas and see one before I die !

[aeromas]

really nice its next to impossible to spot those rascals singing  I have tried and tried you should be in charge of the cia or something

[Mundellproductions]

I live in glen cove,ny and theres always that noise at night in spring and always thouhgt they were bugs... lol.

[alx2925]

[maarakailet1]

Nice capture on film, mine won't sing if they even think we are watching.
