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!

Dryophytes versicolor
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.

The Nature Conservancy's Daily Nature Photo for September 25, 2013, And Photo of the Week on September 26, 2013.
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.

While picking the dying blooms from flowers out of the garden/train layout, this little guy jumped onto my hand. We always take baby pictures of all the creatures in our garden. So now we have Toads, Frogs and Tree Frogs in the Garden.
This tree frog is the real deal. He had to jump on my truck mirror at my house and hung on tight for the 10 mile ride to Wal-Mart. I didn't see him until I was parked. I was able to open the door, catch him and move him to the bushes!

Found alive on the road, but hopping towards the highway last night on my way home from work. I'd never seen nor heard a Gray Treefrog in this immediate vicinity, having lived here the majority of my life.
