- Checklist of amphibian species and identification guide, via WWW, Aug. 12, 2002(Northern Cricket Frog - Acris crepitans. There are three subspecies of the Northern Cricket Frog (Acris crepitans): Blanchard's Cricket Frog, A. c. blanchardi; Eastern Cricket Frog, A. c. crepitans; Coastal Cricket Frog, A. c. paludicola. Note that in most field guides the subspecies referred to here as the "Eastern" Cricket Frog is usually called the "Northern." This change follows Crother (2000), where it is suggested that names be standardized in a manner that gives the species a common name that is different from its subspecies' common names.)

The northern cricket frog (Acris crepitans) is a species of small hylid frog native to the United States and northeastern Mexico. These frogs are majorly in grey, green, and brown color with blotching patterns. Many have a brown or orange stripe down the center of their back and a triangular marking on the top of their head. Despite being members of the tree frog family, they are not arboreal. These frogs prefer habitats near the edges of slow-moving bodies of water, and in close proximity to shelter items, like rocks. It has two recognized subspecies, A. c. crepitans and A. c. paludicola.
