Types of Frogs in Indiana (Identification Guide)
Learn to identify the main frog and toad species in Indiana with this simple guide covering calls, looks, and where they live. See which frog prints match the ones you spot near ponds and woods.
Indiana hosts more than 15 kinds of frogs and toads. Spot them by their calls, skin texture, and body size in ponds, woods, and yards. Common ones include the warty American Toad and the tiny Spring Peeper with its back mark. Many prints capture these looks for your walls.
What are the most common frogs in Indiana?
The American Toad shows up statewide with brown skin and dark spots. It calls with a long trill on warm nights. The Spring Peeper stays small at one inch and sings a high peep in early spring. Gray Treefrogs change color from green to gray and live in trees near water. You can hear their trills from spring through summer.
Which frogs call Indiana home year round?
Bullfrogs and Green Frogs stay active from spring to fall in lakes and slow streams. Bullfrogs grow large with a deep croak while Green Frogs show a ridge along each side. Wood Frogs appear early in the year with a mask like stripe and quack like calls. Crawfish Frogs hide in burrows on the western edge of the state.
How do you tell toads from frogs in Indiana?
Toads like the American and Fowler's have dry warty skin and shorter legs for walking. Frogs have smooth moist skin and long legs for jumping. Check the back feet too. Toads lack full webbing while many frogs have it for swimming.
