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.

This is the world's largest treefrog species, native to tropical Queensland, New Guinea and the Bismarck and Admiralty Islands. Within Australia, its habit of hiding in packing crates of newly picked tropical fruit often results in individuals unintentionally being transported a long way south, where it cannot survive.

First frog on the rainy nightwalk with the president of Mitsinjo, Christin Nasoavina, an excellent guide too! The nightwalk was really wet, but totally worth it. I hadn't taken a raincoat with me – but you should – deliberately, but Christin dryly said: "It's a tropical rainforest. You didn't bring a raincoat?". So right.
There are at least 84 different kinds of frogs in Andasibe/Périnet/Mantadia National parks and they are tricky to find via Google. More people have photographed this one, so it's quite common*.
* Oops. This one is only known from the Andasibe area.
Pseudacris regilla
Also known as a Pacific Chorus Frog or a Pacific Green Treefrog, but they aren't always green. I found this one on the edge of a lake near Bend, Oregon
A close-up of the eyes of a gray treefrog (Hyla chrysoscelis). These are found throughout the southern Appalachians, where they primarily breed in seasonal and semi-permanent ponds. Click 'all sizes' for more detail.
Hylidae. This guy has been living in the pipe and fencepost right beside my house for the past three years now. After a summer rain shower, you can always be sure he will be calling. I hope he survives the winter so I can check up on him next year.

A gray treefrog (Hyla versicolor or Hyla chrysoscelis) from southern Wisconsin. They can't not be uniquely identified by external appearance. They do produce different calls (but even the calls overlap depending on the temperature of the calling male). Only a karyotype can tell them apart definitively. This is a young frog about 1.5 cm SVL and it is sitting on my thumb.

Northern Gray Treefrog (Hyla versicolor) at Davidson's Mill Pond Park. Hoping to catch some Moth Week action, no doubt.
I found this little treefrog blending into a rock on a rainy walk near the University of Maryland, College Park. The species of frog I saw was either a gray treefrog (Hyla versicolor) or Cope’s gray treefrog (Hyla chrysoscelis). It is almost impossible to tell these two species of frog apart just by looking at them. Both of these frogs are known as cryptic species, meaning they are two separate species that are genetically different but look exactly alike. Each species has a different number of chromosomes and a different vocalization during the summer breeding period. For many years, there was much discussion on whether one was a subspecies of the other. That was until there was genetic testing conducted in the 1980s that confirmed they were genetically distinct enough to be classified as two different species. More information on Maryland’s frog species can be found on the Maryland DNR website: dnr.maryland.gov/wildlife/Pages/plants_wildlife/herps/Fie...
One of the UN’s sustainability goals #15: Life on Land, seeks to preserve biodiversity as part of its goal. Building a full picture of the species that are living here helps to preserve biodiversity and the genetic material that exists. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), disruptions in biodiversity in an ecosystem increase the likelihood of zoonotic diseases jumping from an environment to the human population. It is estimated that over 75% of emerging diseases come from areas suffering from human-caused environmental disturbances. When a region becomes “unbalanced” with only a few species, it allows for disease to spread more rapidly than if the area had a diverse population of many different organisms. More information can be found about the impacts of biodiversity on disease transmission on WHO’s website: who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/biodiversity#:~:text....
Green Treefrog (Hyla cinerea). Not so green due to coolness and dry conditions.
