Three tips to distinguish between Green and Squirrel Treefrogs: in Green Treefrogs (Hyla cinerea), a white stripe from the upper lip down the side of the body is conspicuous with clear borders but in the Squirrel Treefrog (Hyla squirella), if that line is present it is much more jagged and indistinct; the Green Treefrog often has green pigmentation below the white stripe but the Squirrel Treefrog appears to have the green stop at the white stripe; and in the green treefrog, the tympanum is usually green like the rest of the frog
To all who visit and view, and – especially – express support and satisfaction: you are much appreciated!

Album Description – Charlotte, NC – 2017SEP13 – Green Tree Frog:
An American green treefrog – my second sighting! – perched in the lilies by our front porch, this time a sunny summer late afternoon!
A young Green Treefrog (Hyla cinerea) - Black Point Wildlife Drive, Titusville Florida
I'm not sure why, but I've seen very few of these guys in Central Florida, and my captures to date have been farther south in the Everglades, or farther north on the panhandle. I do however see large numbers of invasive Cuban Treefrogs in the Space Coast area, so it's possible that the more aggressive Cubans have pushed the greens out of the area.
If you look at me in the eye,
you can see I rotated this image a bit.

Found at Curtis Prairie - UW Arboretum in Madison in southern Wisconsin. Dane County, Wisconsin, USA.
Thinking probably Cope's Gray Treefrog. Confirmation appreciated.

This little guy visited my wife and I while we were having lunch on our patio on a beautiful early fall afternoon. He was really checking us out.
Yesterday morning as I was sitting on the deck with my first cup of coffee, I could hear a treefrog calling from the lily pond. I went to investigate but he quit calling. (Naturally) Every time I would go back to the deck he would fire up again so I decided to try and wait him out. I got my camera, warmed up my coffee, moved a lawn chair onto the gazebo and waited. It took a little over an hour but he finally tuned up again and I located him on the rock wall . During the time I was waiting, the sun changed positions so the the first pictures I got were in shade and he was flattened against the rock. There is one picture in the comments of him flattened ( stealth mode and shaded) and one sunlit and in full song. (click on any)
BTW I love the Beta tag on this one .....insect... ??????
I was utterly delighted to see this sweet, sleepy attendant on the boardwalk yesterday afternoon! Now that’s camouflage! Almost all the tree frogs I see are in their green phase so this was extra special.
Litoria Chloris.
There were at least three, probably more of these fellows in my backyard singing up a storm in the rain.
An icon of the Mesoamerican tropics, the Red-eyed Treefrog (Agalychnis callidryas) was one of my top targets in Honduras and I was stoked to see several individuals in the wild.
The Lodge at Pico Bonito, Honduras.
Its finally springtime here in North Louisiana. The springtime flowers are out and frogs are out looking for mates.
Saddled Tree Frog (Taruga eques), an endangered endemic frog from the highlands of Sri Lanka. Central Province, Sri Lanka.
幾乎沒有去夜拍的我,如有機會在大白天遇到綠色樹蛙,是令人開心的事:-)

An endemic frog species in Taiwan, now under protection by law.
Native Green treefrog young-un in an Aechmea fasciata bromeliad. ...a Non-toxic mosquito control!! This little fella still has a small bit of his tadpole tail attached behind him.
I went back the following day after discovering all these tree frogs...and thankfully they were still there...as well as the sunny weather. So, here is a mosaic of my faves from that day. I didn't want to bore you with individual pics of them. They all tend to start looking the same.
Same treefrog! I was out mowing the yard and happened to see him side-walking across the back of the house, which is a bizarre sight. When he reached the door he took a breather, so I ran inside for my camera. After a couple of shots I moved him to a tree where he'd be less likely to be mauled by the mower...
From WikiPedia:
This is Cope's gray tree frog (Hyla chrysoscelis, also called the southern gray tree frog, recently reclassified as Dryophytes chrysoscelis)
The photographer must of thought I was insane when I brought this little guy in for his photoshoot. LOL. Just kidding..
Hylidae is a worldwide family of frogs commonly referred to as "treefrogs and their allies". However, the hylids include a diversity of frog species, many of which do not live in trees, but are terrestrial or semi-aquatic. Most hylids show adaptations suitable for an arboreal lifestyle, including forward-facing eyes providing binocular vision, and adhesive pads on the fingers and toes.
In the non-arboreal species, these features may be greatly reduced, or absent.
Hylids mostly feed on insects and other invertebrates, but some larger species can feed on small vertebrates. Tree frogs are usually tiny, as their weight has to be carried by the branches and twigs of their habitat. While some reach 10 cm or more, they are hardly in the same size class as "grass frogs".
Who knows the name of this treefrog specie coming from Surinam?
De boomkikkers (Hylidae) zijn een familie van de kikkers.
Vrijwel alle soorten hebben zich aangepast aan het leven in bomen en struiken; slechts enkele soorten zijn bodem-bewonend of blijven meer in het water. Boomkikkers hebben vaak hechtschijfjes onder de tenen waardoor ze over bijna alle oppervlakken kunnen lopen. De meeste soorten hebben ook grote, ontwikkelde achterpoten en kunnen goed springen.
Boomkikkers komen wereldwijd voor, maar de meeste soorten leven in Amerika.
In Nederland komt ook een soort voor; de Europese boomkikker (Hyla arborea).
Boomkikkers hebben vaak een groene of bruine kleur, lichtere tot witgrijze buik en een gladde huid. Een aantal soorten heeft echter felle kleuren of een wrattige huid.
De lengte ligt vaak tussen de 3 en 5 centimeter, weinig exemplaren bereiken de 10 cm.
Boomkikkers voeden zich voornamelijk met insecten en andere ongewervelde dieren.
Wie weet de naam van deze uit Suriname afkomstige boomkikkersoort?
Deze foto is genomen in een privé aqua-terrarium bij een medewerker van Ouwehands Dierenpark in Rhenen thuis.

Hyla andersonii from North Carolina. These small treefrogs inhabit relatively open, shrubby seeps where localized pools of water provide shelter for tadpoles. These habitats are best maintained with fire, and unfortunately fire as a tool for maintaining habitats has largely disappeared outside of lands managed specifically for wildlife. As a result, this species has declined in places that are not burned or otherwise maintained to be open and support grasses and shrubs.
