Treefrog Treasure is a free platformer game that teaches whole numbers and fractions as players hop around a variety of worlds.
Created by the Center for Game Science at the University of Washington.
grey treefrog, green phase. these are about the size of the first knuckle on my pinkie finger. once you learn to spot them, though, they're everywhere in the long grass by the frog pond.
This cute and pleasantly plump treefrog [the Grey Treefrog (Hyla versicolor)] spent an entire summer's day lounging (if not outright snoozing) on the mount for my mother's satellite TV dish. This frog is likely a female, based on its relatively light-coloured throat.
It was entirely unconcerned even when my younger brother had to disconnect the cables from the dish so that we could run them through a conduit underneath the new porch we are building for her.
These little beauties can change their colouring based on their surroundings. When sitting on an unnatural object like this metal post, they are predominantly neutral in colour.
This little guy eventually climbed on to my camera and sat there for a minute or two. I went inside the house to wait him out. When I was a kid, I wouldn't hesitate to pick one of these up but since I've gotten a little older, I don't too much want to touch things that could stick to me if they wanted to. There's just something about that I don't care for. I'm not scared of them I just don't want to have to handle them if I don't have to.
The gray treefrog has powerful clinging toe pads. At rest it hides the vivid golden colour of its inner thighs, possibly used as a warning flash when pursued by predators.
Cozy on some Pothos. This is the usual daytime resting spot, and his/her usual brilliant daytime green.

Gray Treefrog, either Hyla chrysoscelis Cope, 1880, or Hyla versicolor LeConte, 1825. These sibling species co-occur and can only be distinguished by call or genetic analysis. Usually cryptic, this individual was discovered clinging to the side of an automobile. Near Brentsville, Virginia, USA. Photo by David L. Govoni ©2007. All rights reserved.
I am not sure about my ID on this, none of the big sites have decent images. I've had folks tell me that the frog is too "pink", but this is the way my camera caught it. I've messed with photoshop on this, still come back to the original, as what I saw then. They are not common enough, they sure are pretty.
