	Northern Peeper
		The eggs of the spring peeper are laid singly or in small clusters of two or three and are attached to submerged vegetation.
		Peepers have large discs on their fingers and toes and are much more agile climbers than either cricket or chorus frogs; however they seldom venture more than one meter up in the vegetation.
		Spring peepers have an extended breeding season that may begin as early as 20 March and continue until late May. The 800-1000 eggs are laid singly or in small clusters of two or three attached to submerged vegetation and measure 1 mm in diameter.

	Spring Peeper
		Adult male peepers are typically 2-3 cm (.8-1.2"); females are a bit larger at 2.7-3.7 cm (1.1-1.5") due to a growth spurt at the end of the second year (Oplinger 1967).Young, newly transformed juveniles are 1.35-1.45 cm (0.52-0.56").
		The skin of peepers is generally smooth, in contrast to the rough, warty skin of the gray treefrog.
		The skin color lightens at night; peepers can rapidly darken and lighten to match their background more closely (Kats and VanDragt 1986).The frogs appear to have a preference for settling on dark sites, with their skin changing from light tan to deep, brownish fl in 15-45 minutes.
