    I just looked at a bunch of pictures of Rana lessonae and I am not convinced this is your frog. Your frog has a texture on its dorsum that I did not see in the pictures of Rana lessonae that I saw.

    Also, I have never heard the term nightstalker, at least not when it comes to frogs.

    I would have to agree with Kurt. The first could be a Ranid, the second vaguely reminds me of some sort of Gastrotheca, the third a Mantella, the fourth could be Phrynohyas (or whatever that is now), and the fifth could be a Litoria or a Gastrotheca or a Hyla. Without location its hard to distinguish tree frogs.

    I have a frog kind of like the first picture. she came from the creek behind my apartment building in pennsylvania as a pollywog(she had front apendeges) she only makes noise when startled, and likes to be handled. she likes to go for a swim too, and eats 2-3 large gut loaded crickets two or three times a week.

    I would say that it is most likely a Lithobates clamitans melanota* or green frog. The males get bright yellow throats.

    I refuse to use Lithobates, I will continue to use Rana until they stop with all this ridiculousness.
