I missed the last few updates here. Beautiful pictures of the mantis and the box turtles. I don't think I've ever seen a group of box turtles together like that, very cool.

I THINK I'm looking at a dorsolateral ridge in the top picture that would indicate a green frog. That said I've been wrong before and I'm hardly an expert.
The gender of the bullfrog, green frog and carpenter frog can be determined by the size relationship between the tympanum with respect to the eye. In males the tympanum is larger than the eye and in females the tympanum is the same size as the eye or smaller.
I think you would be right. That is a great comparison site btw... the other sources I looked at didn't have such a good side by side comparison.
Also interesting... I didn't know this either:
The tympanum is the visible external eardrum I referred to earlier.
This was barely larger than an earthworm. Baby snake this late in the season?
Earth or ground snake? Brownish color? Saw two cutting my grass the other day.This was barely larger than an earthworm. Baby snake this late in the season?

Please post pictures of these snakes cutting your grass.
