Gray Treefrog (Hyla versicolor)
I found this nice shot on one of my old memory cards. This one is a juvenile showing typical juvenile coloration. Even though they are called "gray" treefrogs, juveniles are usually bright green to help match their surrounding in late summer, when they metamorphose. This green coloration hides them well in duckweed (as they are metamorphosing) and then low shrubs and grass as they venture onto land. The two captive juveniles i keep now are gray, which is not as common as the green variety at this age.
