If you've wondered, "do spring peepers live in Arkansas?" You will be glad to know that the answer is yes! These tiny but mighty singers are one of the first signs of the changing season. Cicada whines may own the summer but these little frogs have the spotlight for spring in Arkansas. Have you heard their whistling cacophony yet? Let's jump right into some interesting facts about spring peepers in Arkansas:

Sometimes winter feels like it may last forever, but one thing you can count on are whistles of this little frog. If you've ever asked yourself "when do spring peepers come out?' Well you can count on the being a harbinger of the season after the final thaw.

One small, but loud, piece of normalcy this season are the calls of the Spring Peepers. Pseudacris crucifer are the unofficial sirens that winter is finally over.

These teeny tiny frogs can be found everywhere in Arkansas.

Although they are difficult to spot! Spring Peepers are only ¾ – 1½-inch long and weigh up to 0.18 oz. The Peepers do come in a variety of colors though. The Southern Spring Peepers can be tan, grey, or an olive green. Besides the size, another way to identify the frog is by the "X" mark on its back.

Although they're hard to see, they're definitely easy to hear.

This species is one of the first to start singing every year. Their chorus sounds like a mix of sleigh bells and high-pitched car alarms (and about as loud too)! Depending on the group's size, the calls can be heard up to two and a half miles away.

As with just about any animal call, these frogs sing to find mates.

Any Peeper performance you hear is from the males. After mating, females will lay between 900-1000 eggs in a single clutch near the water's edge. Tadpoles grow for about two to three months before turning into full-fledged Peepers.

You don't need to travel far to hear these Spring Peepers. Just find your closest pond and wait.

Spring Peepers typically start singing in the evening and into the night. Whether you think their call is charming or a little annoying, they are an easy way to hear that spring is here.
