在4个繁殖季节对杂色雨蛙的行为进行了观察。求偶的雄鸟有领地意识，它们用求偶的叫声作为保持间距的信号。雄性通过遭遇战的召唤和最终的战斗来保卫领地。失去声音互动或战斗的雄性有时会停止呼叫，并在其他占主导地位的雄性领土内保持沉默。雌性接近雄性的呼叫点，用轻推启动抱合，并保持抱合超过4小时。这种行为偶尔会让下级雄性获得使用一个调用鲈鱼。所描述的H. versicolor与北美雨蛙属的其它8种雨蛙[H. chrysoscelis，H. squirella、黑刺蛾H. cinerea、灰叶蝉H. regilla，H. crucifer，H. femoralia，H. cadaverina和H. andersoni]。
The behavior of Hyla versicolor was examined during 4 breeding seasons. Calling males are territorial and use the mating call as a cue in maintaining their spacing. Males defend territories using encounter calls and ultimately, fighting. Males that lose vocal interactions or fights sometimes cease calling and remain silent within the territory of other, dominant males. Females approach males at their calling sites, initiate amplexus with a nudge and remain in amplexus for more than 4 h. Such behavior occasionally allows subordinate males to obtain use of a calling perch. The behavior described for H. versicolor is compared with that seen in 8 other species of North American Hyla [H. chrysoscelis, H. squirella, H. cinerea, H. regilla, H. crucifer, H. femoralia, H. cadaverina and H. andersoni].
