I have a Treefrog nursery on my back porch. Every night I see the same 3 little treefrogs hanging out.
This tree frog is the real deal. He had to jump on my truck mirror at my house and hung on tight for the 10 mile ride to Wal-Mart. I didn't see him until I was parked. I was able to open the door, catch him and move him to the bushes!
How can a treefrog be cute? Perhaps it only seems so to a naturalist. The gray treefrog is only an inch or a bit more as an adult. This one was only 3/8-inch - - - obviously a new hatchling of the year. It could have sat on my thumbnail with room to spare. I'm not sure how I even saw it sitting motionless on the leaf of a spicebush. It was very fat. Catching insects on the spicebush must be easy.
One of our "mailbox frogs" had been positioned on the mailbox door when I retrieved today's delivery and allowed a photo shoot. Unfortunately, I suspect it's a juvenile Cuban Treefrog (Osteopilus septentrionalis), which is an invasive species. Indicators are large eyes, warty skin, white stripe near the mouth, and large toe pads. I'm awaiting ID confirmation. Among other things, Cuban Treefrogs feed on this area's native frog population.
It's now clear to me that one way the frogs get into the mailbox is through a rather large gap between the hinged door and the box itself.
This Treefrog was on the brace for the powerline tower. I'm not sure which one it is. The book says its a Pacific Treefrog but I'm sure its not.
Green Treefrog (Hyla Cinerea) The Florida Panhandle, Niceville, FL
This is another individual I found at the same location, that was quite bright green compared to the first one I photographed.
Hyla versicolor/chrysoscelis, Vernon County Wisconsin, 15 May 2018.
Observed sitting on blacktop parking lot during the middle of the afternoon on a sunny day.
Found this beauty in the spout of a watering can. When I filled it, water refused to come out. I gently poked this Great Grey Tree Frog (Hyla versicolour) until she ended up swimming, then tipped her out. Placed her on our fountain where she blended in rather well.
This cute little immature Gray Treefrog, Hyla versicolor, was hiding on a leaf at Dave Small's place in Athol, Massachusetts.
a little short of inspiration today i asked Bill to pick something for me to draw. "TREE FROG!" was his answer.

This canyon treefrog was clinging to the shady side of a rock outcrop in Molino Canyon, just below the overlook in Pima County, Arizona. This is one of the most heavily pigmented specimens I've seen, but it was well-sheltered, and the cooler such cold-blooded "herps" are, the darker they usually are. Incidentally, a fall from this height would have severely injured a human, let alone a treefrog. Good grip!
