Damn my cell phone's macro non-capabilities! And the fact that we sold our awesome Sony 5 mp camera with awesome macro. Damn I miss that camera!
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.
I was watering a potted geranium on our deck and happened to find two(!) grey treefrogs hiding under the leaves.
