He's about one inch long -- so tiny I almost missed him when trimming the sea grape bush. It's unusual to spot a yellow squirrel treefrog. They mostly come in greens or browns. Gold Medalist - Color Green, October Contest - 2010. Winner, animal portrait contest, Love It! level 3, June 2012.
Endemic to the mountains of central Sulawesi, the stream-breeding Loka Flying Frog (Rhacophorus monticola) is highly variable in coloration. South Sulawesi, Indonesia.
One of North Americas most beautiful frogs, the Pine barrens treefrog (Hyla Andersonii) is a small and personable amphibian. With a unique range, this species occurs in only a few states with their stronghold being in New Jersey and other unconnected populations in the Carolinas and Alabama/Florida.
This pair in amplexus were photographed in North Carolina where these uncommon frogs are more commonly heard than seen. Their coloration and habitat preferences makes it very hard to get a look at them. Luckily for me, this couple was off on the side of the road in some branches overhanging a small seepage.
Growing up to 2.5" long, the Green Treefrog (Hyla cinerea) is common along southern Atlantic states. Photographed here is a froglet about the size of a dime. In a master defensive play, he sat completely still for the photo session, hoping that I wouldn't notice--and possible eat--him. After all, he had no way of knowing that I wasn't interested in a predator/prey relationship!
As he grows, he himself will feast on many an insect, and these hunts will take him to many places. While he prefers densely vegetated, wet areas, some green treefrogs have been found hanging around people's porches--there, where patio lights attract battalions of insects--the ravenous frogs batten upon unsuspecting moths with vigor.
The Lowland Burrowing Treefrog (Smilisca fodiens) is one of Arizona's most unique inhabitants calling the low desert of south central Arizona home. It emerges only for the summer monsoon rains to breed in temporary puddles of water where a large number of frogs can be found in a single pool creating a chorus that can be heard from a very far distance. Here is a loud chorus heard following a heavy monsoon storm!
When I approached this nest box from afar, I expected that the head would be that of a young Tree Swallow, the species that usually occupies this box. Instead, I found this guy who may be smirking at me or may just be a happy fellow.
I assume it is a Gray or Cope's Gray Tree Frog.

This little frog is one of the animals that can be handled as it is non venomous. A cute addition I think!
I didn't know they were so so tiny and small , mostly about 2 Ã 3 cm and so well hidden between and upon the branches of the bramble...
Two species of Treefrog from the same pool of water. The Arizona Treefrog (Hyla wrightorum) and the Canyon Treefrog (Hyla arenicolor) both inhabit temporary pools where rain water collects during the early monsoon for breeding. Most of the reproductive cycle takes place during the first heavy rains, but some Canyon Treefrogs will live within permanent creeks, rivers, and lakes where various life stages may be found intermittently.

This little tree frog (body about an inch long) was, for whatever reason, nestled about four feet off the ground, in the frame of our storm door. Sometimes I wonder how many little things like this I've missed over the years, by simply being to much in a rush. The little frog posed for just a moment before heading back in to the "wild".
