Tiny little frog(toad?) on my squash vine.

Fayetteville, AR(Zone 6b)

I found this tiny little frog or toad on my squash vine today. This one is so small that it could sit on my finger with room to spare. Can anyone maybe tell me anything about him or her?

While this site is called Snakes of Arkansas, it does list the frogs in your state: http://www.snakesofarkansas.com/Main/Frog. Make sure you click on the picture, it'll give you lots more info.

Hopefully it will help. For me it is hard to tell from your picture which one it is.

That's a great site! I know my photos were hard to see. He was just too small and too well covered up by leaves. Having seen him up close, though, I can say for certain that it is a "Spring Peeper"!

Good! I was hoping you got a good look.

I love sites like that. There's one in Vermont and they even encourage sighting and picture submissions. It is fun to look around, and of course to help identify what critters we have in our yards!
