Treefrog in pitcher plant
Apalachicola National Forest, Liberty County, Florida.
I think the treefrog is pine woods treefrog (Hyla femoralis). If not, it is likely squirrel treefrog (Hyla squirella). Field guides say that they are difficult to tell apart unless caught and the concealed pattern on the inside of the thigh is examined. I did not catch this frog to look for that.
I've read that it is not unusual to find treefrogs inside the pitchers of these plants. I did not put it there.
