I know frogs are not as popular as bugs, this isn't one of my usual subjects, and this isn't one of my best photos, but this little frog was just too nice to pass up.
I found him/her hopping from leaf to leaf on the side of the trail I was walking on. It was probably less than an inch long (this was taken with the 135mm on a few extension tubes, and cropped quite a bit) and was a beautiful bright green color that the flash destroyed somewhat.
I have never seen a frog like this, usually I just see brownish toads around, I've never seen a tree frog. Is it even a tree frog? Anyone know the species?
Gray Treefrog
Scientific name:
Hyla chrysoscelis and Hyla versicolor
Features:
Gray treefrogs are Missouri’s most common species of treefrog. Two species of gray treefrogs occur in Missouri: Cope’s gray treefrog, Hyla chrysoscelis, and the eastern gray treefrog, Hyla versicolor. There is always a large, white marking below each eye. Large, adhesive toe pads are present on fingers and toes.
Color:
May be gray, greenish-gray or brown. Bright green specimens are
often seen. The inside of each hind leg is washed with yellow-orange.
Size:
Average from 1 ¼ to 2 inches in head-body length.
Habitat:
Forest-dwelling
Breeding:
Late May and early June in fishless, woodland ponds.
Call:
These two species are nearly identical in appearance and are best separated by their calls. Cope’s gray treefrog sounds like a buzzer, while the eastern gray treefrog has a birdlike, musical trill.
Information Taken from:
Hyla cinerea, North Carolina. I never used to hear or see this species in the piedmont, however I have been hearing them near the house starting this spring.

I'm a little confused as to whether this is P.braueri or P.megacephalus. I believe they might be the same frog just being reshuffled between species.
A tiny Eastern Gray Treefrog has decided to make the horses water tub faucet area his daytime home.
Every night he disappears out to do what he does I guess, find food, mate, etc., but every day for the last week he has returned right back to the small area just above the faucet that fills the horses water tub!
A small set of 7" pliers used to open/close the faucet is right next to him for size comparison.
Gray Treefrogs are essentially identical to Cope’s Gray Treefrogs. The only way to tell the difference is to listen to their breeding calls.

Folded from a 50x50cm sheet of double tissue paper
This is my second attempt in making the model. In my first attempt i used two glued sheets of ORIGAMIDO paper and i realized that the glue added to thickness of the paper.
Even though i used worse paper this time, I'm pretty impressed with the result
