My husband spotted this tree frog hanging out in the butterfly bush outside our front window. Of course I had to get a piccy of him.

Found this critter hiding on my sweet pea trellis.
Large view is recommended.
The red-eyed Treefrog (Agalychnis callidryas) is one of the signature species of Costa Rica and other central American countries. Recent studies indicate that the developing embryos in the eggs may hatch prematurely if a snake or other predator attacks the eggs.

This American green treefrog belongs to the Order Anuran, an identifying name meaning "without tail": Anurans represent, by far, the most speciose, diverse, and widespread of the three extant amphibian orders, found throughout most of the world – except in polar regions – & some oceanic islands and extremely xeric deserts; Anuran diversity is greatest in the tropics
To all who visit and view, and – especially – express support and satisfaction: you are much appreciated!

This is a juvenile frog. Two Hyla species (H. chrysoscelis and H. versicolor) are common to this area. They can only be distinguished by one chromosome number and a faster trilling rate. The frogs will change color to gray or green; depending on temperature or background. The tadpoles had a distinctive reddish colored tail.
