    I think there are a couple members who live in Ohio. Maybe one will have a good idea.

    Definitely not leopards, they are Blanchard's cricket frog, Acris crepitans blanchardi. They are members of the treefrog family, Hylidae and only grow to 1.5 inches.

    Also, I looked up some info about the Cricket frogs and it's missing a lot of the key distinctive marks, like the striped thighs, triangle between eyes.

    They have the markings of juvenile Leopards. Bright green spots, large head, long toe, dorsolateral ridges, bumpy texture on back, small stripes starting on the legs, and the Leopard is the most abundant frog in Ohio. I think they are Northern Leopards Kurt.

    Hank, could you try and get a clearer pic from more angles please?

    Here is a juvenile Northern Leopard. Do they look like this?

    They do not resemble those very much. Their spots are not that detailed. The lime green spots are more mild and not those strips on their body. They also don't seem that compact, much slimmer.

    I tried to look at the larger frogs and I did notice the a green triangle between the eyes and the strips on the thighs, as with the cricket frogs.

    If you can post a more detailed photo it will make it much easier to tell. If we rule out Leopards than a better photo is necessary. Kurt is probably right.
