A tree frog the dog and I encountered on a dog walk just as dark was falling. He was smaller than a golf ball.
The cascade treefrog (Litoria pearsoniana) was the species we were after. We only found a few. Read my blog post about this trip.
Hyla versicolor complex (versicolor or chrysoscelis), Sparta, Monroe County Wisconsin, 10 August 2019.
Gray treefrog metamorphs that make it through our experiment are released back where they were collected as eggs.
Until it hopped back to the trees it's little suction-cupped hand blowing me a sticky kiss goodbye.
Sometimes, you just have to wait for something you've been looking for for a very long time to hop up right in front of your eyes.

Welcome to my Flickr 365 Project! I’m calling it my 365 Species Project, because for each day of the year, I will post a photo of a different species of organism... My goal was to accomplish all of this in 2013, but I soon found out that it was more daunting a task than I'd realized. Instead, my new goal is to get through 365 by the end of 2014, still an impressive average of a new species every other day for two years.
Look what I found stuck to the bottom of my box turtle's waterdish. I spent hours trying to get a picture of one of these in Volo Bog with no luck.
I love these animals, they're so cute. ^_^ They are Pacific Tree Frogs (Pseudacris regilla)).

thanks to all my ;Flickr Friends" for your support...have a wonderful day !!
sheesh that looks uncomfortable! Shot taken moments before he launched himself and landed on my shirt..act of intimidation perhaps? Can't beat'em, join'em? I followed this guy through the woods for close to 50 feet - from tree to tree...max jump was about 3 feet, and that was miss...he landed at the base of the tree...finally came out on a leafy branch over the frog pond and started calling. ...that seemed to have been his destination from the start.
