The red-eyed Treefrog (Agalychnis callidryas) is one of the signature species of Costa Rica and other central American countries. Recent studies indicate that the developing embryos in the eggs may hatch prematurely if a snake or other predator attacks the eggs.

This is a juvenile frog. Two Hyla species (H. chrysoscelis and H. versicolor) are common to this area. They can only be distinguished by one chromosome number and a faster trilling rate. The frogs will change color to gray or green; depending on temperature or background. The tadpoles had a distinctive reddish colored tail.

This Gray Treefrog has been frequenting our swimming pool each night, where he calls (unsuccessfully) for a mate. I have numerous shots of his legs sprawled, but he almost looks too human-like in that pose and for some reason I find it a bit disturbing!
The cascade treefrog (Litoria pearsoniana) was the species we were after. We only found a few. Read my blog post about this trip.
I took a young Malaysian intern from a university in Pingtung to nearby Dahanshan. Hoping to find a hundred pacer snake, we were lucky to find several other endemics, including this female brown treefrog (Buergeria robusta).
Hyla andersonii from South Carolina. This individual was heard calling from a recent clearcut. One other individual was found nearby. These treefrogs are rare throughout the southeast, being limited to the sandhills regions of just a few states. Disjunct populations exist in both Florida/Alabama and New Jersey, where they coexist with many of the other sandhills specialists that are found from the core of their range.
