The green coloration is bordered by a white stripe, which separates it from a later plum band that extends downwards to cover the belly.

Dryophytes andersonii are primarily found near temporary still or slow waters dominated by shrubs or herbaceous plants.

They are also found alongside artificial bodies of water such as cranberry bogs, water-filled ruts created by vehicles, flooded borrow pits, and ditches.

[5] Due to the limited extent of suitable habitats, the species is currently distributed in three disjunct areas in the southeastern United States: the New Jersey Pine Barrens; the Sandhills of North and South Carolina; and the Florida panhandle and southern Alabama.

It was selected through a poll organized by the North Carolina Herpetological Society, in which the Pine Barrens tree frog was chosen alongside the marbled salamander.

As a consequence of this, D. andersonii populations found in or near developed and agricultural areas are believed to be the most at risk due to the greater presence of nonnative species there.

[4] The Pine Barrens tree frog was featured in a series of prints by artist Andy Warhol.

In 1983, the artist was commissioned to create a portfolio of ten endangered species to raise environmental awareness and included was D.
