Frog ID (possibly non-native?)

[hassman789]

Hi, we found this frog and I am looking for an ID for it. So we clipped some flowers and brought them inside to put in a vase. Right as my mom was nagging my dad to make sure nothing was living in it, this little frog hopped out of the flowers (mom was not happy). Man could this thing hop! I took him outside to take some pictures of it and let it go. So here are the pictures anyone know what it is? I think it might not be native because I have NEVER seen one of these, and I did here something about my neighbors releasing frogs into their backyard for their garden and little pond thing.

We had 1 (only 1) in our basement peeping and peeping and peeeeeping annoying but awesome looking. lol

yep spring peeper...when we was in our younger dumber years, we took a cool whip tub, and caught easily over a 100 of them at a pond, and stuck them all in there, and then put them in a neihbors mailbox....never heard anything about it though...

Don't know if it was a joke or not... but the species name crucifer is a reference to the cross pattern on its back.

Thanks guys! I let him go in my garden and then later that night I saw him up my house.

Sometimes they hang out around the lights to eat bugs. I usually find a few doing it every year. Also end up bringing them in with potted plants in the fall.
