Researchers led by Jake Socha discovered that cricket frogs in Virginia and North Carolina use unique 'fast-moving belly flops' to jump multiple times on water, a behavior called 'skittering'.

The way cricket frogs move across the surface of water has long been thought to resemble walking on water, but researchers in the College of Engineering have discovered a different reality.

For a study published recently in the Journal of Experimental Biology, Weiss and her co-authors filmed cricket frogs at up to 500 frames per second, level with the water’s surface, ...

Cricket frogs are one of the smallest frogs in North America, easily sitting on the thumb of an average adult's hand. To observe the cricket frog in motion, team members used high-speed videography.
