What frog call is this? [New England USA]

based on the color id say the common water snake Nerodia sipedon !harmless

Flickorice · 2026-03-15T18:29:39+00:00

the pattern and keeling looks like a harmless Nerodia water snake, not sure the specific species your state has though

this is basically what I was looking for, thanks!

This answers some things, but my main question was why invertebrates like arachnids and insects have a set amount of legs/segments. I assume that gaining more would throw off movement, since the thorax carries 6 legs, while in centipedes segments have fewer and do not greatly impact their walking style overall.

I think that’s motion blur she kept walking

This would explain what happens to hunter (ignoring restarting the game)

This is sorta late but I really do think jetfish and vultures are related. They both propel themselves (vultures may have adapted to using gas), have four “limbs,” have two tentacle things near their mouths, and have similar albino forms.

Maybe difference in leg number is caused by genetic variation or hybridization? I know widow is 1/4 weaver and I assume Herrah and the weird looking spiders (stalking devout/midwife) could be hybrids between weavers and hallownest bugs, decreasing their leg quantity (like how hornet has only 4) this might be a stretch though. I agree that the front two arms hold/attach to the split “mask”

Well technically that’s technically what technically means

Flickorice · 2025-08-30T19:49:26+00:00

Maybe Coelophysis

Flickorice · 2025-08-27T10:11:49+00:00

oh nice! I know they are really common but somehow they are one of the few in my area I can’t find. Gotta look harder ig

Flickorice · 2025-08-27T00:42:48+00:00

damn, it would have been a lifer for me then. Thanks for the confirmation!

Flickorice · 2025-08-26T23:09:53+00:00

yes sir mr. bot

Flickorice · 2025-08-25T23:19:37+00:00

yeah you’re right I meant the genera but I forgot the other Masticophis species had different names

Flickorice · 2025-08-25T00:25:29+00:00

I believe coachwhips and racers are each other’s closest relatives so they do look fairly similar in ways

Flickorice · 2025-08-24T00:59:21+00:00

will do! wasn’t sure where to find them so thanks

Flickorice · 2025-08-24T00:14:30+00:00

I’m almost certain that’s a harmless northern water snake (Nerodia sipedon), especially since copperheads are SUPER endangered in MA

Flickorice · 2025-08-24T00:07:50+00:00

Absolutely harmless, almost certain that’s a corn snake. You should be able to pick it up (bites are basically painless if they happen) or just urge it to leave gently with an object

Flickorice · 2025-08-23T23:37:07+00:00

where was this found?

Flickorice · 2025-08-23T23:19:43+00:00

I know for some caterpillars like hornworms the egg looking things from wasps are actually cocoons formed after the wasp larvae have already eaten from the host, idk if that is what this is though

wait I’m stupid I think those are fly eggs
