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.
A Costa Rica tree frog. I've spend 5 wonderful months in this great country and hope to return once!!
I saw him sitting there while I was eating breakfast. I hope I see him again so I can take a better photo. He really blends in with the tree bark.
Once we'd walked back from the village, we went looking with Marianne (frog-finder extraordinaire!) & Erling, and found that the treefrogs at Mawamba had woken up (bloody difficult to find though!)
Hyla cinerea. This little one was hanging out on the back wall of our post office around 9:30 PM Wednesday night.
