Free Tree Frog at every Home Depot

So i`m on line at Home Depot buying a new Rhododendron and something starts moving about in the plant and hopping across the leaves and sure enough it`s this little green tree frog commonly found in the southern states. (The cashier being the girlie girl that she was got skeeved out by it and didn`t appreciate when i went RRAAAA! at her when she went to scan the upc code...lol.) It stayed in the plant no problem for the ride home and was resting comfortably still on the plant in the backyard till i started poking my camera in his face. The Rhodo did have aphids on it when i puchased it and i`d say it was safe to assume that he was feeding on the aphids. (BTW, it was a mild case of aphidism and on a strong plant they generally cause no harm, especially when being eaten! )

I left him on the bush and i`ll let him ride out the rest of the hot NY summer in which i`m sure he`ll feed plenty and live happily.
