Blanchard's cricket frogs are commonly found in wetlands, ponds, and/or near row crop agriculture.

They have warty skin that is usually brown, gray, tan, or olive green, with darker bands of color on the legs.

Many different colors can be seen on certain specimen's backs, usually being either a dark red, orange, light green, or in rarer cases, a combination.

[1] The frogs are most commonly found in slow-moving or stagnant bodies of water, such as in streams and wetlands, where reproduction takes place.

[5] In Minnesota, where the state's Department of Natural Resources includes A. blanchardi as a subspecies of A. crepitans, both taxa are collectively considered endangered.

[3] Another study of the immune defense traits of Blanchard's cricket frog showed that multiple factors can influence the immune system of the frog, for example water conductivity, water surface area, and ratio of natural to managed land.
