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.

Pacific Treefrog (Pseudacris regilla) Natural History
A pair of mating pacific treefrogs (Pseudacris regilla) observed in Napa County, CA.
This Cuban treefrog (Osteopilus septentrionalis) was sleeping just outside my front door in North Fort Myers, Florida, USA.
Squirrel treefrog (Hyla squirella) photographed in Jean Lafitte State Park, Marrero, Louisiana during the National Geographic BioBlitz.
A Cope's Gray Treefrog (Hyla chrysoscelis) hangs on to ornamental grass in a small backyard pond in northern Durham County. Physically this frog and the Gray Treefrog (Hyla versicolor) are identical. The only way to tell the difference is through careful call analysis and the number of chromosomes.
This little guy was being dragged around by the neighbor kids,we saved him and took some really good pix in the process.
A frog I came across one night on Barro Colorado Island, Panama. It was one of my first night hikes and I thought I would see more frogs like this but I was wrong. This is the only one of this species I saw, I am not quite sure about the ID but I think it may be one of two species, either Dendropsophus phlebodes or more likely Dendropsophus microcephalus, the yellow treefrog. However it wouldnt surprise me to learn that neither of those is correct.
