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... ??????
Litoria Chloris.
There were at least three, probably more of these fellows in my backyard singing up a storm in the rain.
"Who loves ya baby!"
... Or, more likely: "Get that flash outta ma face!"

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.

The lighting paired with the green surroundings made for the perfect composition, starring this cute lil' treefrog.
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.
The largest treefrog in Ohio, the gray treefrog can be any shade of brown, green, gray or black, using its camouflage to blend into its surroundings. Instead of using its coloring, it can be identified by the unchanging, dark-edged light spot beneath its eye and the bright yellow on the inside of its thighs ... a pleasant little amphibian who was handle-high on a door to my house.
The photographer must of thought I was insane when I brought this little guy in for his photoshoot. LOL. Just kidding..
About 1.5 hrs. after finding the previous frog in the front yard I found this girl on the back deck. I moved her to a more photogenic surface for some shots.

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.
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.

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?

This most festive of treefrogs was hanging around on one of the poles holding my house up this evening, singing the song of his people.
