Green Treefrog
Three tips to distinguish between Green and Squirrel Treefrogs: in Green Treefrogs (Hyla cinerea), a white stripe from the upper lip down the side of the body is conspicuous with clear borders but in the Squirrel Treefrog (Hyla squirella), if that line is present it is much more jagged and indistinct; the Green Treefrog often has green pigmentation below the white stripe but the Squirrel Treefrog appears to have the green stop at the white stripe; and in the green treefrog, the tympanum is usually green like the rest of the frog
To all who visit and view, and – especially – express support and satisfaction: you are much appreciated!
