Even though this little guy is mostly green, it is still a gray tree frog. The species name (versicolor) describes the fact that this frog can be a variety of different colors

GRAY TREE FROG or MOUNTAIN CHORUS FROG (?), Lincoln County, West Virginia, USA. July, 2011. Copyright Tom Turner.
These tiny Summer gray treefrogs are truly tiny about the size of a Honey Bee and very easy to overlook.
More photos of some of the interesting plants and animals to be found at Broughtons Nature and Wildlife Education area during the second week of August
Hyla versicolor. We heard an incredibly loud sound coming from our deck. It sounded like a treefrog, but 100 times louder and deeper. Then we spotted this fellow clinging to the metal lid on our gas barbeque grill, which had amplified his call to an almost alarming amplitude. Wonder if he was thrilled by the effect, or if it attracted any lady frogs.

Aug 2015, tiny Grey Tree Frogs perched on Arrow Head leaves at a small frog pond near my home outside Marietta Ohio. I have learned to look for the frogs on the plants and trees surrounding the pond as the first tree frogs emerge from tadpoles around mid Aug. In fact the last three photos in this series are of a young tree frog which still hasn't completely absorbed his tadpole tail. These little frogs are about the size of a nickle. They are fascinating and a lot of fun to photograph.
Hylidae: Hyla chrysoscelis; calling male with distended vocal sac
Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge, near Cedar Key, Florida
Cope's Gray Treefrogs (Hyla chrysoscelis) - This pair was found in a parking deck adjacent to a small drainage area. Moved this pair along with a few other individuals to safer grounds. The male had no intention of releasing his grip... obviously only one thing on his mind.
(Cobb County, GA)

We went to a frog watch at Eagle Creek Park this evening. We had a really great time, we caught far more frogs (four) than I though we would (zero). :)

From the frogpond to frogs - out in Wisconsin. These little guys like to find a place to hide on our balcony at this time of year - they clearly have excellent climbing skills. At first I thought they were toads, but a bit of googling has convinced me that they are gray tree frogs. I put this one on a leaf to have his portrait taken. Apparently, if I'd left him long enough on a green background he would have turned green to match it.
Gray Treefrog, Somerset County, Maine. I found and heard dozens within only a few acres of land. They will call during all times of day into early evening in wet springs and summers. Their call in early spring is always a premonition of warmer weather to come.
Don, who used to be the refuge manager here, knew exactly where to find this guy: tucked up in a little crevice between the outer & inner walls of the bird blind. Never in a million years would have found it myself!
If the frog looks kinda sleepy, well, he probably is -- we interrupted his daytime sleep, poor thing.

Waldo hanging out on a Sansevieria 'Moonshine'. It's a nice silvery variety of snakeplant with nice broad leaves for a frog to spend the day on.
Lighting info:
-Sunpak 433d in small softbox camera right, white reflector camera left .
-Triggered with rf-602s
-Still inside his vivarium, but with the front door opened so no shooting through glass required.

Gray TreeFrog - Hyla chrysoscelis. Well it found the flower pot. When pot is watered it comes to the drain and poses for the photographer
Gray Treefrog that we moved from the top of a window that was destined to be closed (resulting in a frog squishing) on to the relative safety of a Canna Lily.
Lighting info-
-Sun camera left and behind.
-Sunpak 433d in small 8"x6" softbox camera right to keep camera right side of frogs face from being in shadow.
-Small black card above and camera left to block the sun from hitting the frogs face and blowing out, but not blocking the light on it's body to get the shadow to show.
-Flash triggered with rf-602's
-Sun powered by fusion
(Hyla chrysoscelis). Jasper County, Texas. This individual was found calling amidst a large chorus of Hyla chrysoscelis, Hyla versicolor, and Acris crepitans in the Big Thicket region of East Texas.
This little guy somehow ended up atop our "Topsy Turvy" tomato planter. My daughter found him this morning, just sitting atop the plastic cover. I've never seen one of these before, and come to find out, not only are they an arboreal frog, they also can camouflage. Clearly that wasn't happening when I took this shot! Cute little fellow!
