Editing Spring peeper (section)

== Diet ==
=== Larva (tadpole) ===
Tadpoles are suspension feeders, therefore they graze on inorganic and organic matter.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Virginia Herpetological Society |url=http://www.virginiaherpetologicalsociety.com/ |access-date=2022-11-28 |website=www.virginiaherpetologicalsociety.com |language=en}}</ref> They also feed on [[algae]] and other organisms in the water.

=== Adult ===
Spring peepers are [[nocturnal]] [[insectivore]]s, emerging at night to feed primarily on small [[invertebrates]], such as [[beetle]]s, [[ant]]s, [[flies]], and [[spiders]].<ref name="NG" /> They do not climb high into trees, but hunt in low vegetation. Spring peepers living in deep, damp forests are active hunters both day and night, whereas those found in [[woodland]] edges restrict most hunting and other activity to night.<ref name="HN" /> The spring peeper's diet involves the filtering of particles from water columns and scouring [[periphyton]] and [[detritus]] (dead, organic matter) from environmental surfaces in their habitat.<ref name="Skelly 1995 203–207">{{Cite journal |last=Skelly |first=David K. |date=1995 |title=Competition and the Distribution of Spring Peeper Larvae |journal=Oecologia |volume=103 |issue=2 |pages=203–207 |doi=10.1007/BF00329081 |jstor=4221021 |pmid=28306774 |bibcode=1995Oecol.103..203S |s2cid=22425047 }}</ref>
