Sleeping during the day.
The same species I photographed in the north of Malaysia, this time on the Indonesian island of Lombok.
I didn't see any tail on this little guy. Would guess he was a tadpole not long ago. The frog was sitting on a milkweed leaf before I got him to jump onto my hand for this picture.
(This was originally misidentified as a green treefrog, thanks to John J. for the correction)
Photographed at Paynes Prairie State Park, Florida using a Canon 50D and 100-400 mm f4.5-5.6 IS lens; 1/320 sec, f 7.1, ISO 100.
This little guy was not much over an inch long and was making himself right at home on some backyard patio furniture.
While cleaning out "Gertrude" our pool cleaning BOT, i saw an inconspicuous blob on the black fence. the blob was gray and i thought it was a wasp nest and made a note to clean it off after dark. the next time i looked up, the "nest" was looking back at me with a sleepy eye! upon closer inspection i saw it was a frog of some undetermined type...one i had certainly never seen before...inside i went and out came the camera. got a couple shots and let it be. when my son in law came home i told him i found a most unusual frog, and took him to see it...he was fascinated and picked it up, and it stuck to him with cool suction cup feet!!! we played with it a bit and then he decided it's name would be Gypsy and we would keep it so i could take it to school to show the kids. Gypsy had her adventure today, visiting classrooms, where i was able to tell the kids that she was a Common Gray Treefrog, is nocturnal, stays mainly in the trees, but comes down to get bugs for meals. they eat small crickets, grasshoppers and worms, and make sounds that are similar to a bird. i set Gypsy free tonight, in the ornamental cherry tree in one of my gardens. i swear she smiled for her picture!!
Scinax staufferi, Toledo district, Belize. I accidentally posted this one as an Olive-snouted Treefrog, but it's not, my bad!

While photographing a different tree frog on a tree I heard something hit the ground nearby. I don't know why, but I had the idea that it might be another tree frog, so I searched around and found it. While I was trying to get a photo the frog jumped up on my flash. This guy stuck around for quite a while.
G9 pocketcam, BTW.

This is a typical Gray Treefrog, Hyla versicolor. We found it on a sunny hillside in rural farmland.
This cute little fellow is either a Gray Treefrog or a Cope's Gray Treefrog. They are virtually indistinguishable, the only difference being their call, not their cuteness. Alpha Ridge Park, Howard County, Maryland.
Hyla andersonii from North Carolina. These small treefrogs are poorly known. They're known from three disjunct populations - one the the New Jersey pine barrens, one in the sandhills region of North Carolina and South Carolina, and one around the Florida/Alabama border. They specialize by breeding in/around seepage bogs during the early summer, though little else is known about their reproduction. Much of their habitat has been destroyed by draining for agriculture and development or degraded by fire suppression.
