How could you possibly say "definitely" about the identification of any tadpole species by looking at the picture? 75% of the tadpoles native to the US require a microscrope to positively identify species. The small ones are DARK just like a Bufo. The ones in the middle have lateral eyes which aren't even characteristic of Rana, they are most likely Psuedacris and definitely Hylidae. The largest would not be leopard frogs at that size.



>>little ones are definately wood frog tadpoles. the larger are most likely green frogs, slight chance of belig bullfrogs, could even be leopard frogs.
