Same Frog, Different Log as www.flickr.com/photos/bprobin/8393561218/in/photostream
I've been trying out different ways of making a background that's neither too boring nor too distracting and also somewhat complimentary to the froggy. This is the same background material as the previous photo, but not as wrinkly means less tonal variation in it.
Lighting Info:
-Sunpak 433d camera right and a little front, in homemade strip box.
-Sunpak 433d camera left fired through 60cm round diffusion panel
-Bare sb-28 at background, a yellow curtain pressed into service.
-Triggered with rf-602s.
Hyla chrysoscelis ... and a third one has shown up (or I missed him earlier). Not 100% sure, but think they are Copes Gray Treefrog; anyone who knows to confirm or dispute, please do! Thanks
Agalychnis callidryas, is also known as the red-eyed treefrog. The scientific name of the red-eyed treefrog, A. callidryas, comes from Greek words kalos (beautiful) and dryas (a tree or wood nymph)
Nog een boomkikkertje. Ik vind ze erg moeilijk te fotograferen omdat ze vaak tussen de bladeren van braamstruiken zitten. Deze kon ik met mn hoekzoeker vanaf een laag standpunt fotograferen, zittend tussen de (stekelige) takken van de braamstruiken. Hierbij er voor zorgend dat mijn schaduw over de kikker viel. Doordat de zon wel het veldje bescheen op de achtergrond kreeg ik toch een egale achtergrond. Alle schrammen op mijn armen zijn dit dan wel weer waard
Squirrel treefrog (Hyla squirella) in a trumpet pitcher plant leaf
Size: Usually 1 to 1.5 in.
Identification: Body is tan, green, gray, or brown, and may be marked with splotches; skin is smooth. Upper lip is often yellowish on bright green individuals. Sides may be marked with broken, whitish stripes. Like other treefrogs, this species has enlarged, sticky toepads. Squirrel Treefrogs are often distinguished from other similar species by process of elimination.
Breeding:March to August; lays eggs singly or in pairs on the substrate or attached to vegetation. Call is raspy and somewhat duck-like. To hear frog calls, visit the USGS Frog Call Lookup and select the species you want to hear from the common name drop-down list.
Diet: Ants, beetles, crickets, spiders, termites, and other small invertebrates.
Habitats: Found throughout Florida and in the Keys on buildings and in shrubs and trees in urbanized and natural areas, including hardwood hammocks, bottomland and floodplain forests and swamps, pine-oak forests, and pine flatwoods. Overwinters in groups under loose bark and in tree holes. Breeds in shallow, temporary pools of water that lack fish, including marshes, wet flatwoods, and flooded ditches; prefers open wetlands.
Hyla versicolor complex (versicolor or chrysoscelis), Sparta, Monroe County Wisconsin, 10 August 2019.
I'm a little confused as to whether this is P.braueri or P.megacephalus. I believe they might be the same frog just being reshuffled between species.
Cuban Treefrog (Osteopilus septentrionalis)
Largest tree frog found in North America. Native to the Caribbean, Cuban treefrogs are considered an invasive exotic species here in Florida.
Comments and feedback welcome.
I know frogs are not as popular as bugs, this isn't one of my usual subjects, and this isn't one of my best photos, but this little frog was just too nice to pass up.
I found him/her hopping from leaf to leaf on the side of the trail I was walking on. It was probably less than an inch long (this was taken with the 135mm on a few extension tubes, and cropped quite a bit) and was a beautiful bright green color that the flash destroyed somewhat.
I have never seen a frog like this, usually I just see brownish toads around, I've never seen a tree frog. Is it even a tree frog? Anyone know the species?
Gray Treefrog in our garden. Since putting in a little pond we've had at least two species of frogs show up. I think these are my favorite because in the spring, when the night time temperatures begin to average 65 they start breeding and their conversation is such a wonderful ruckus!
