The northern cricket frog (Acris crepitans) is a species of small Hylid frogs. They live in Canada, the United States and northeastern Mexico. Northern cricket frogs are small frogs, between 0.75 and 1.5 inches (19–38 mm) long. They have pink color on their throats. They eat crickets and small insects. They usually lay eggs in April through May. Tadpoles hatch within a few days.[2][3]
