Or not! Jeez guys, can you not just co-ordinate for the camera? Yay, it's frog time! I love listening to their chorus.
Just a frog in the fall.... He was hopping his way across my little bridge but had to stop and take a rest. :)
A Cuban Tree Frog sleeps in a philodendron during the day. Cuban Tree Frogs are an invasive species in Florida and prey upon native frogs. I've read that you are supposed to capture them and place them in the freezer for a few hours to cause them a humane death. I don't have the heart to do that. Should I? They have replaced all the native, beautiful green treefrogs, but they are abundant in my neighborhood and I don't think I could make much of a dent in their population.

This little frog was hiding under the leaves, difficult to spot. But he didn't jumped away, probably due to the temperature. I covered him up again with the leaves after I had taken some photos.

Painted ant nest frog (Lithodytes [Leptodactylus] lineatus) - Cordillera Escalera Conservation Area, Peru
A really fascinating frog on several different levels, the painted ant nest frog is a uncommon treat to see in the forest here in the San Martin department, I have encountered 4 individuals so far. This frog gets its common name from its association with leaf cutter ants (Atta sp.), these frogs are often found in and around leafcutter ant nests and males will call from within the nest. Multiple calling males have been recorded from the same nest, breeding happens underground so there is plenty we don't know about but tadpoles have been found in pools of water underground within leafcutter ant nests! To avoid being attacked by ants the frogs give off a chemical cue which either fools the ants or signals to them to not attack, and thus they are able to venture into ant nests where most intruders would be killed by attacking ants. If they weren't already interesting enough, they're also thought to be mimics of certain poison frog species (Ameerega, Phyllobates), when I saw my first individual of this species I was quite confused as at first glance I had thought it was an Ameerega but a closer look told me it was something else. Its unclear whether its Batesian mimicry, a non toxic species mimicking a toxic one, or Mullerian mimicry, two toxic species who look similar for shared protection. Some info suggests it might be the latter and that this frog likely has some distasteful toxins in its skin. This frog is probably more common than it seems but its secretive subterranean nature make it elusive.
