Sierran Treefrog (Pseudacris sierra) a/k/a Sierra Chorus Frog. There has been a debate raging about classification of this Treefrog for more than a decade. Is the familiar Pacific Treefrog one species (Pseudacris regilla) or three (P. regilla, P. sierra and P. hypochondriaca)? I put the question to USGS frog researcher working in Yosemite. His answer: "It depends on whether you ask a taxonomist [one] or a molecular biologist [three]." What's a poor photographer to do when the academics can't sort it out? Sweetwater Marsh. Buttterfly Valley Botanical Area. Plumas National Forest. Near Quincy. Plumas Co., Calif.

Smooth-skinned and equipped with goofy clown hands, the bird-voiced treefrog is easily confused with her close relatives, the gray treefrogs, save for her relatively small stature and distinctly avian voice. A devout believer in the summer fling, when a suitor sings 'wit-wit-wit-wit' from shrubs surrounding temporary pools our heroine heads out for night of passion that leads to more goofy little treefrogs.
Hyla avivoca, Illinois.
Nubby the dumpy (white's) treefrog... He is actually greener than this but he is under a yellowish light.
A large Cope's treefrog (Hyla chrysoscelis) from Chicagoland. I find these on roads running through old rolling oak savannah on rainy nights.
This is the first one of these beautiful little creatures that I've seen in years. They are only an inch long and normally camouflaged against their background being able to change color to match the tree bark or foliage they are on. However, they haven't figured out how to match the color of my white back door! I hear them singing from the trees and shrubs in my neighborhood quite often, especially before, during and after a light rain. Note the suction cup toe pads for climbing!
Check out this little treefrog spotted at Port Louisa National Wildlife Refuge in Iowa. Have you seen any lately?

The texture of their skin is just amazing. Very cool irises too. It's a Mexican Treefrog, Smilisca baudinii, caught in Golden Stream Corridor Preserve, Belize
Cuban Treefrog (Osteopilus septentrionalis)
This adorable baby frog is one of the most ecologically destructive invasive species in Florida. Cuban Treefrogs are native to the Caribbean and introduced to Florida, sometime in the 1920s. They eat anything smaller than themselves including our smaller native treefrogs, lizards, and small snakes. Their skin has a sticky secretion that is very irritating to human mucus membranes and can cause a burning sensation that can last more than an hour. Photographed with a Canon EOS 7D, Sigma 150mm Macro Lens, and Sigma EM-140 DG Ring Flash.
This girl was given to me due to her obsession with rubbing her nose. It's slowly healing. She's quite possibly the most colorful herp we have here at New Yankee Herpshop.
Red Eyed Treefrog (Agalychnis callidryas)
After upgrading my Rostock Frame I printed this Treefrog. This is the third frog, the other two were not successful. I discovered that my bearings needed lubrication and the other frogs failed because the steppers were having trouble overcoming the extra friction and were missing some steps.
