The screaming frog is a medium-sized amphibian with smooth skin of green or bronze color. It lives near bodies of water in the eastern part of North America and emits loud sounds similar to plucking a string.
The screaming frog differs from related species by its loud croak and skin color, which can be green or bronze. It is important for nature because it eats many insects and serves as food for snakes, birds, and other animals.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
