Recently had my palm trees trimmed and this big guy came plopping out - scared the yard guys! Apparently this 5 inch guy was the largest they had ever seen in Florida. To see how it was processed, check out my blog at www.digitalladysyd.com/?p=3032.
Green Treefrogs have moved into our area in numbers in the past few years, but Cope's still seems to be holding on. Hopefully they can coexist.

This gray treefrog was found sunning himself on the window of LEARN NC’s office suite.

Hyla andersonii
May, 2012. New Jersey.
The gem of the New Jersey pine barrens, this beautiful treefrog species is only found here and a few scattered locations in the southeastern United States. The Pine Barrens Treefrog is a denizen of swamps and acid bogs that are scattered across the pinelands. The Pine Barrens Treefrog is listed as a Threatened species in New Jersey.
Taken with Sony Zeiss 85mm f1.4 on Sony alpha55, Taronga Zoo Sydney. We were there for a work function - popped a few photos on the way home.
Mr. Treefrog grips onto the blades of grass with his tiny suction-cup toes while he pumps his bellows to sing for the lady frogs. Sierran treefrog, Pseudacris sierra (formerly known as Pacific treefrog, Pseudacris regilla). Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve, Dipper Ranch, C. Roessler
I found his Green Treefrog at Cades Cove this summer. The interesting thing is they are not usually found west of the Appalachian Mountains. A fellow photographer discovered a whole group of these guys and contacted a biologist at the Tremont Institute. They responded that there are no Green Treefrogs in the Great Smoky Mountains. Ummm....I know for a fact there are, the proof is in the picture.
Hyla avivoca from South Carolina. These treefrogs do not range far from the Savannah River in SC. They are superficially similar in appearance to Cope's Gray Treefrogs (H. chrysoscelis), who will sometimes be found calling in close proximity to these frogs. The Bird-Voiced Treefrog is smaller and is limited to oxbows and swamps along the river floodplain. They can often be heard calling, which sounds somewhat like a squeaky wheel, high atop the cypress trees surrounding bodies of water.
I think that this is Polypedates braueri, but it might be Polypedates megacephalus. I'm really not sure what the difference is. Somebody needs to bring out an updated book for herps in Taiwan (preferably in English at last!).
Size: Usually 1 to 1.5 in.
Identification: Body is tan, green, gray, or brown, and may be marked with splotches; skin is smooth. Upper lip is often yellowish on bright green individuals. Sides may be marked with broken, whitish stripes. Like other treefrogs, this species has enlarged, sticky toepads. Squirrel Treefrogs (Hyla squirella) are often distinguished from other similar species by process of elimination.
Breeding:March to August; lays eggs singly or in pairs on the substrate or attached to vegetation. Call is raspy and somewhat duck-like. To hear frog calls, visit the USGS Frog Call Lookup and select the species you want to hear from the common name drop-down list.
Diet: Ants, beetles, crickets, spiders, termites, and other small invertebrates.
Habitats: Found throughout Florida and in the Keys on buildings and in shrubs and trees in urbanized and natural areas, including hardwood hammocks, bottomland and floodplain forests and swamps, pine-oak forests, and pine flatwoods. Overwinters in groups under loose bark and in tree holes. Breeds in shallow, temporary pools of water that lack fish, including marshes, wet flatwoods, and flooded ditches; prefers open wetlands.
It was definitely an afternoon for baby Treefrogs. I found a total 0f 13 on the Milkweed plants. Each one could have fit on my thumbnail with room to spare!

A rare sight (for me at least), a "Gray" treefrog. Their color ranges from bright green as seen here to a very muted whitish-gray color. In 20+ years of living in Iowa this is the only one I've ever seen.
Gray Treefrog - Hyla versicolo. Found this fellow clinging to a reed at the Albany Pine Bush.

One rainy evening this past July I arrived home from work and took my trash cans to the curb for pickup. on my return to the house I noticed this fellow trying to remain unseen at the edge of my driveway. He was a very large frog , much larger than any tree frog I had ever seen,(I am guessing he was some sort of tree frog) so I was very excited to get a few photos of him. I quickly went in the house and grabbed my camera and returned. On my return he was still rite were I had last seen him and we had a nice little photo session.
