There are 14 species of frogs and toads in West Virginia. They range in size from the tiny Cricket Frog which is only about 1.5 inches long, to the Bullfrog, reaching about 7 inches. All frogs and toads in West Virginia must lay their eggs in water and there is a tadpole stage which lasts from only a few weeks in Spadefoots to several years in Bullfrogs and Green Frogs. Tadpoles are omnivores in general, feeding on plants and microorganisms. All adult frogs and toads are carnivores, preying mainly on insects. The larger species may feed on small mammals, snakes, other frogs, and even birds!
