I'd like to add some Hyla versicolor/chrysoscelis eggs to this post. These are from South/central Indiana.

These were found in a small puddle/ditch in the middle of a dirt road with a vernal literally on either side of the road. These were the tightest corkscrews I've ever seen. The vernals already had hundreds of Anaxyrus larvae. So the question is, American or Fowler's?

A good clue in this is timing! American's breed much earlier in the year than Fowler's.

Also, STICKY FOR SPRING!
