My wife, daughters, and a couple of friends visited a yard in search of a selasphorus hummingbird. We didn't get any photos of that individual but my kids still found a few critters to look at.

Hyla versicolor - We found it in our home in Carmel, New York. For this photo we put it in a small dish then we took it outside to a nearby pond, where it hopped away.

A smiling Gray Treefrog.
They are found in the eastern half of the United States.
According to Tn Watchable Wildlife they are a tree-dwelling species that is rarely on the ground.
It has sticky toe pads to help in clinging to tree bark and other surfaces.
They can change color depending on where they are (in a tree, on the ground) or if they are cold. The underside of their thigh is a yellow-orange.
The Common Tree Frog, Four-lined Tree Frog, or Striped Tree Frog (Polypedates leucomystax) is a species in the shrub frog family (Rhacophoridae). Many past authors have united it with the Common Indian Tree Frog in P. maculatus (or Rhacophorus maculatus, as was common in older times), but today they are generally distinct species. In its native range, it is also called "white-lipped tree frog" but this name is otherwise applied to a species of true tree frogs (family Hylidae).
It is found in Bangladesh, Brunei, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, the Philippines, Singapore, North America, Thailand, Vietnam, and possibly Bhutan.
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, subtropical or tropical moist shrubland, subtropical or tropical seasonally wet or flooded lowland grassland, rivers, intermittent rivers, freshwater lakes, intermittent freshwater lakes, freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marches, freshwater springs, rocky shores, coastal freshwater lagoons, arable land, pastureland, plantations, rural gardens, urban areas, water storage areas, ponds, aquaculture ponds, irrigated land, seasonally flooded agricultural land, and introduced vegetation.

A tiny frog sitting on a green Orange (or other similarly sized citrus fruit).
It is no bigger than a Christmas Beetle, and was clearly trying not to be noticed.
Es una rana arbórea nocturna que habita los bosques húmedos y húmedos de las tierras bajas cerca de las piscinas rocosas poco profundas, y los bancos de la corriente. Puede sobrevivir en el bosque secundario, pero generalmente necesita una buena cobertura vegetal. En Costa Rica, se ha observado en áreas relativamente abiertas.

..... flattened against a rock, presumably this is his "you can't see me" stealth mode. It works quite well.
While approaching the front door of our home a couple of nights ago, this treefrog was right at eye level with me on the wall. So, I ran inside, grabbed my camera gear, and got a few shots. ...then I left him alone!
His ability to stick to the stucco finished wall and just sit there is really astounding. It is not a tacky surface, at all.
Beautiful creature.
