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.
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.
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.
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:-)

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)
I spotted this little guy on the roses this morning and thought I'd give you guys a break from the landscapes and stuff... :)

Originally called Pacific Treefrog, Hyla regilla, this species has gone through a confusing naming process. Renamed Pacific Chorus, Pseudacris regilla, it is now named Sierran Treefrog, Pseudacris sierra.
For those interested in the range map of this species, see below:
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.
