Dewy gray tree frog waiting patiently on a milkweed leaf at North Meridian Road Park in Okemos, Michigan.
This cute little immature Gray Treefrog, Hyla versicolor, was hiding on a leaf at Dave Small's place in Athol, Massachusetts.
There are two varieties of Gray Treefrogs: Hyla versicolor and Hyla chrysoscelis. The only way to tell the difference (without a comparison of the cells of the inner eyelid(!)) is by listening to their calls. I think we have H. chrysoscelis based on the buzzing as opposed to trilling of their many calls in the night.
These tiny Summer gray treefrogs are truly tiny about the size of a Honey Bee and very easy to overlook.

How can a treefrog be cute? Perhaps it only seems so to a naturalist. The gray treefrog is only an inch or a bit more as an adult. This one was only 3/8-inch - - - obviously a new hatchling of the year. It could have sat on my thumbnail with room to spare. I'm not sure how I even saw it sitting motionless on the leaf of a spicebush. It was very fat. Catching insects on the spicebush must be easy.
He must have heard us talking about him!
I hid one of the prank frogs out on the front porch and the very next morning, look who's there! It's TOAD!
Perfect timing!
Hyla versicolor

This is a young grey tree frog (hyla versicolor). These frogs can be all green, all grey or a mixture of both. The little ones I've seen are mostly green. The one adult we found was ALL grey. It looked like a rock.

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.
