How to distinguish between frog tadpoles and wood frog tadpoles?

In nature, not only are the breeding seasons of Northeast wood frogs and common frogs different, but their breeding territories are also different. So there is no need to worry about confusion during egg collection. Generally, as long as the eggs are collected during the normal breeding months of wood frogs (before the end of April in the Northeast), confusion will not occur.

The most reliable way to identify frog tadpoles is to check the number and arrangement of their labial teeth, but this is impossible without professional skills.

From the on-site perspective, if you must distinguish between Rana tadpoles and frog tadpoles, you should mainly distinguish them by color (generally frog tadpoles are larger in size, but Rana tadpoles can also grow very large ), frog tadpoles are light in color and have blue-gray hair, and wood frog tadpoles are light in color and are yellow and completely black.
