We had a little tree frog climbing the screen on our sliding patio door this morning. I love taking the opportunity to photography the underside of them and grasshoppers and whatever else climbs our windows out here in the country,
This little guy from Northern Australia was most accommodating in his poses. This image is my personal favourite from my Reptile photoshoot in Bournemouth England last November (best viewed large)
Thanks for all your kind comments and fav's, they really are appreciated.
Normally these treefrogs can be found in bushes ( mainly blackberry ). These treefrog was sitting in a birch-tree ( about two meters high ).
One of our widest spread warblers, the American Redstart (Setophaga ruticilla) can--at one time of the year or another--be found from sea to shining sea. Lucky thing. It's a handsome bird with high-contrast coloration. It is also a highly active warbler, flitting around in its forest retreats almost butterfly-like. There, it catches insects on the wing more so than most other warblers.
It uses its startle coloration similar to the red-eyed treefrog posted earlier this week...but not exactly the same. While the treefrog uses its colors to stun would-be predators, the American redstart uses his to scare insects stiff, before gobbling them up!
We hada storm come through late this afternoon with over 25mm rain in about 30 minutes... and that means frogs! Here are some Graceful Treefrogs (Litoria gracilenta) enjoying it this evening.
Watched this little guy climb around the alligator flag leaf. It blended so well with the color & blemishes on the leaf. Even had some sort of blemish on its head. This shot was right before it jumped....which of course I missed.
I haven’t found a tree frog in a flower for several years, so I was thrilled to spot this tiny treasure in a rudbeckia next to the path at the local bird sanctuary!
Last month I found a tree frog in a patch of blooming cup plants where I had seen one last summer. This tubby cutie had the froggy equivalent of toilet paper stuck to his foot; whenever he moved the cup flower petal went with him. 😂😍
I just read today that this has been the state’s 3rd wettest winter ever! At least the frogs should be happy for a while.
The Red-eyed treefrog (Agalychnis callidryas), is probably one the most emblematic frog species of the tropics and of Costa Rica. Normally found in inhabit areas near rivers and ponds in rainforests and humid lowlands on the Atlantic slopes. They spend most of their time sleeping during the day under a leaf, and during the night, they are mostly arboreal, jumping from vine to vine and from tree to tree.
