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.
Green Treefrog (Dryophytes cinereus) 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.
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.
a little short of inspiration today i asked Bill to pick something for me to draw. "TREE FROG!" was his answer.
