One of my sons is obsessed with frogs. We were upstate today and they were easy to find hiding in the grass. Wonder if it has anything to with the swarms of crickets also found in the grass? Anyway, kinda neat how these guys (Northern Leopard Frogs) blend into the background without actually completely mimicking the background patterns. Who knows, though, maybe the spots are more similar to pebbles in a stream and the actual adaptation is for that environment. Still, it works pretty well in the brown decaying grass/leaves/twigs under the weeds.
