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.
Barking treefrogs usually have spots on their back. However, barking treefrogs can change colors, so the spots may disappear when the frog turns bright green.
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!
gray treefrog - their mating cycle is just starting. This one was quite tame. Let me get close and even move it to a better backdrop.
