Boreal Chorus Froglet
Pseudacris maculata (froglet)
The froglet is a newly transformed juvenile found along wet grass, muddy pond margins, and low vegetation near breeding pools. It hunts tiny springtails, gnats, mites, and other small invertebrates with fast tongue strikes. Its small size and quick hops make hiding under leaves and stems more important than standing its ground. At this stage the tail has been absorbed, and the animal is beginning the land-based life of the adult.
