Stream Frog (Litoria barringtonensis) from the rainforested hills above Coffs Harbour in northern NSW, Australia
Green Treefrog, small - about 4 cm in length
Breeding March to October; lays eggs in multiple clusters (about 300-1,000 eggs in one night) near the surface of the water, often attached to vegetation. Eat beetles, crickets, caterpillars, beetle larvae, stinkbugs, other small invertebrates.
The first county record for this southern tree frog species (Dryophytes cinereus) came from our North Georgia yard. In a good Summer one or two will roost in the daytime on the hefty pink hibiscus stems - usually as the very last plate-sized blossoms are just hanging on.
(One from my treefrog-in-pink series that I've never posted - and something different after all the dragonflies and butterflies! Shot with an EF 100mm f/2.8L prime macro lens)
Some of you all wanted me to post more snakes or frogs before "12 Days of Christmas Butterflies" begin - so here's one of our native Green treefrogs against red flowers in my Georgia yard. I shot this cutie with my 100mm macro lens. Can you all believe it's only 2 weeks till Christmas??!!!

Little green treefrogs and mountain wildflower filled meadows are two of my favorite things. Here is a photo brining the two together that I took in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California this week. This is a Sierran Treefrog
(Pseudacris sierra) they are common frogs that can be found in a variety of habitats and elevations from moubtains to urban valleys. thry can be found wherever there is water. They eat a wide variety of invertebrates. Although green is my favorite color phase in this frog, they can also be brown, brown and green, gray or reddish in coloration.
It can be hard to spot these guys! These native treefrogs often have their footies tucked underneath when perched. This one was at the wetlands. North Georgia
I didn't expect to spot a little Green treefrog hiding in one of my lemon trees yesterday 10-14-24! The hanging lemons are a lot bigger than he is. He spent the night in our garage & is back outside today. If he's still there soon ... he'll be tucked inside for the next few nights (going to 37oF)! Kind of late for these cute Summer treefrogs.

UPDATE 10-17-24: he's still on that leaf inside the garage - hasn't moved ... it hit 37oF this morning - early to be this cold!
Green Treefrogs are usually green, but occasionally you find a blue one, or in this case a green-spotted blue one.
For those of you who are old enough to remember this, this reminds me of a Peter Paul and Mary song "I'm in love with a big blue frog".
The frog didn't move when the dragonfly first landed, but when the dragonfly came back a second time the frog became very disturbed.

All the rain from cyclone Alfred has made for a lot of happy frogs. This one, a Green Treefrog, was trying to keep me up all night by croaking incessantly :-) At least it was very obliging when I took a few pics.
Green treefrog on a hibiscus stem in our N. Georgia yard. This is a warm weather frog ... our winter chorus frogs should start calling soon as rain continues. Sleet here this morning made our decks quite slippery. Bluebirds have been eating mealworms.

(Sad & angry about yet another terrorist attack - our hearts break as we pray for the people of France and all those murdered & maimed - including an American father & son. Our progressive governments have turned their backs on God and bent over backwards to rename good evil, and evil good - and this is what results. God help us ... )
