Also known as the Mexcian Blue-spotted Treefrog, Smilisca cyanosticta. We found several of these in the Columbia River Forest Reserve, in southern Belize
Southern Monterey Co., CA. Thanks to Sam Sweet for identifying the species. And thanks to Stuart Wilson who found this critter (along with Dennis Sheridan) and who had a setup for photographing the animal which allowed me to get so close.
Hylidae. This is a different Gray Treefrog from before. While on a camping trip earlier this summer in Ohio, I was awoken from my slumber by a loud thud hitting the top of my tent. I went out to inspect what had made the noise and to my surprise I found this guy sitting harmlessly on the top of my tent. So either he fell out of the canopy above, or had purposefully jumped from the nearest tree to my tent!
Licking County, Ohio.

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.
On the way back from Florida last year, I opened my trunk, where I'd stowed some plants, and saw a pair of eyes staring back at me. It was this HUGE tree frog, as big as one of our Green Frogs. "Juanita" lives a pampered life at the Museum now. Unfortunately, this introduced species is causing a lot of problems in Florida, as it eats or outcompetes native amphibians.
Canande. Call is a loud, deep "raak". These were quite common in the wet areas along the dirt road that led in, and they're sometimes called Cattle Treefrogs because of their tolerance for disturbed areas. I was surprised at how large these were.
The scientific name of the California treefrog, Pseudacris cadaverina, refers to the fact that its body is so pale (like a cadaver). This species is most likely to be found in bouldery creeks, where its pale, cryptic coloration blends right in with the rocky backgrounds that it sits on. In this case there were actually four or five frogs all in a line back-to-back; I focused the camera on only one of them. The remaining frogs are directly behind it but not visible at this angle.

I looked for a frog all evening, but couldn't find one. When I went out on my front porch, this little guy was there, to my surprise. Took his pix, and then put him in a tree away from my cat.
I love these animals, they're so cute. ^_^ They are Pacific Tree Frogs (Pseudacris regilla)).
