Not very green as it wasn't thrilled to be a model for the camera. Caught this little fella in my house after it managed to get in through the a/c unit. Mission impossible for frogs!

This is actually one of the first photos I ever took with my Olympus DSLR. Sara and I were still living in Columbia and the apartment we lived in backed up to a miniature swamp where you would hear the loudest bunch of frogs throughout the whole summer. This one was on the wall right outside our door one evening, so I got a quick shot of him, and then tried to make it look more interesting with some post processing. It makes a pretty cool background for a computer screen.
This past saturday I went to Red Bud Valley with Opo Terser ( www.flickr.com/photos/7539598@N04/ ) to do some macrophotography, the first time I've ever shot with someone else. It was a gorgeous and cool day, and there was a ton of bug activity (including chiggers, as my myriad bites can attest).
Hyla were quite abundant, especially on the only manmade structures around (trail signs) ! versicolor and chrysoscelis can only be distinguished reliably by call; the complex is one under review currently.

Newly-emerged tadpoles. I had originally thought these were Narrowmouth toads, Gastrophryne carolinensis, but my one transforming tadpole on 8/29/09 is clearly a Gray Treefrog, Hyla chrysoscelis. This individual, unfortunately, died right as it was transforming, but the species is clear.
These newly-emerged tadpoles are 4-5 mm long.
A gray treefrog that I discovered hiding behind the neck rest of a patio chair. They can change colors fairly quickly. After moving it from the chair and placing it on an adjacent wall with a light color paint, the frog became very pale within a couple of minutes to match the wall.
A Gray Treefrog showed up on our door window last night - so I got my macro lens and flash out, and he posed for a few shots.

These frogs are rarely seen nocturnal treefrogs.
Habitat loss and degradation to to small and large-scale agriculture and logging represent major threats to this frog.

No group invites, please.
Very difficult to photograph as it was sitting about 1.5 m above my head... Hence the quite bad quality. But at least we found it.
The red-eyed Treefrog (Agalychnis callidryas) is one of the signature species of Costa Rica and other central American countries. Recent studies indicate that the developing embryos in the eggs may hatch prematurely if a snake or other predator attacks the eggs.
Thanks for all of your comments, faves, and invites. I appreciate them!
A minute or two after this shot, a gecko ran over and ate this tiny frog...
This species mostly shows green overall colors. This is the first one I see with such pale morph.
