Cope's treefrog (Hyla chrysoscelis) from Chicagoland. I took this picture just to show the beautiful yellow "flash" colors on the inner thighs and back of legs. Most people think this is to confuse predators as the frog leaps away.
A small frog that breeds in transient pools of water, including roadside ditches, the pine woods treefrog is found in Coastal Plain marshes and pine flatwoods from Virginia to Texas. Adhesive disks on their toes allow them to climb into tree canopies, and their short, punctuated calls have given them the nickname “Morse code frogs.”

I've been hearing these frogs quite a bit recently. I fought my way through branches, spider webs, and mud before reaching them. This frog was the only one I could get a obscured shot at. Maybe next time I can get a photo of one calling, as it's throat bubble is rather impressive.
I've waited a long time to see my first tree frogs in the wild, but aren't they amazing!
Seen in the south of the Netherlands.
I think this is Trachycephalus (=Phrynohyas) venulosa, the milky or marbled treefrog. It was within the range of the species and is the right color I think. He was quite content to sit on the tip of a log and let me photograph him.

Cope's treefrogs (Hyla chrysoscelis) are somewhat common in the region where I live. They are seldom seen though unless you look carefully on roads going through habitat on rainy nights.
Rosenberg's treefrog, or Gladiator treefrog (Hypsiboas rosenbergi) on the forest floor at night. Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica.
The camouflage of the Arizona Canyon Treefrog is amazing how it's body matches the surrounding rock textures and colors!
Happy #WildlifeWednesday! Today we are looking at the squirrel treefrog (Hyla squirella). This little cutie gave our D03-FL field technician quite a surprise during LAI (leaf area index) when she tried to unravel the flag to read it. These tree frogs are always hiding in our flagging. They prefer areas with moisture that provide shelter and food, such as swamps, marshes, edges of lakes and streams, trees, gardens, shrubs, and houses. Squirrel treefrogs can be found all throughout the Southeast and are very common to see at D03’s sites.
Gray treefrogs breed in May when they move to breeding ponds. Clusters of up to 30 eggs are attached to vegetation near the surface of the water. The eggs hatch in three to six days. Tadpoles transform within two months. Adults reach maturity within two years
