Green Frog Tadpole
Aquarana clamitans (tadpole)
Green Frog tadpoles live in ponds, marsh edges, and slow backwaters where submerged plants and algae are abundant. They graze on algae, biofilm, soft plant matter, and fine organic debris, spending much of their time near shelter. When threatened, they dart with tail beats and hide among vegetation or silt. In colder parts of the range, some tadpoles overwinter before completing metamorphosis.
