Spring peepers predators include great diving beetle larvae (when in tadpole form), snakes, skunks, and larger frogs. [43] Drying periods of ponds typically align before or during the metamorphic larval stage of spring peepers due to their slower growth rates. This suggests that higher mortality rates may be an effect. [44]

[6] [7] Males have two distinct calls; one call is used for mating to attract females, and the second call is used as a territorial call. Mating call is fairly short metallic that can last from 0.16 to 0.24 seconds with an average frequency of 2.04–3.43 Kilohertz; the frequency varies depending on the size of the frog. Territorial call sounds ...
Chiasmocleis ventrimaculata, also known as the dotted humming frog, [2] [3] is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is found in Bolivia , Brazil , Colombia , Ecuador , and Peru .
The northern leopard frog breeds in the spring (March–June). Up to 6500 eggs are laid in water, and tadpoles complete development within the breeding pond. Tadpoles are light brown with black spots, and development takes 70–110 days, depending on conditions. Metamorph frogs are 2–3 cm (0.79–1.18 in) long and resemble the adult.
Pickerel frogs typically emerge from hibernation around mid April with the majority of the frogs arriving at breeding ponds by early May. No fall reproduction has been reported for this species. [13] At the ponds, pickerel frogs are usually observed in large groups in the water. [14] Mating behavior is not much different from other ranids.

Frogs in a pond. Pond life is an umbrella term for all life forms found in ponds. Although there is considerable overlap with the species lists for small lakes and even slow-flowing rivers, pond life includes some species not found elsewhere, and as a biome it represents a unique assemblage of species.
