This gray treefrog was found sunning himself on the window of LEARN NC’s office suite.

Mr. Treefrog grips onto the blades of grass with his tiny suction-cup toes while he pumps his bellows to sing for the lady frogs. Sierran treefrog, Pseudacris sierra (formerly known as Pacific treefrog, Pseudacris regilla). Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve, Dipper Ranch, C. Roessler
Im not sure but am wondering if this is a Gray Treefrog. Taken through the glass of my back door. Mt Juliet, Tn.
A few glamor shots of a little Gray Treefrog I saw earlier this month. I love finding these guys and getting a few photos but their camouflage is just so good. I am sure I am missing many more than I am seeing.
Unfortunately, this species is non-native and invasive in Florida. It is believed that they arrived in the US by hitchhiking onto shipments of fruit and tropical plants being exported out of Cuba. For such a small innocent-looking amphibian, it causes a lot of trouble. They eat native lizards, frogs, insects, and even small snakes such as the Key Ringneck Snake, a rare species. It also seems to have some sort of toxin in its skin, because after handling it I rubbed my eyes and they burned for about a half hour.
I found his Green Treefrog at Cades Cove this summer. The interesting thing is they are not usually found west of the Appalachian Mountains. A fellow photographer discovered a whole group of these guys and contacted a biologist at the Tremont Institute. They responded that there are no Green Treefrogs in the Great Smoky Mountains. Ummm....I know for a fact there are, the proof is in the picture.
Hyla avivoca from South Carolina. These treefrogs do not range far from the Savannah River in SC. They are superficially similar in appearance to Cope's Gray Treefrogs (H. chrysoscelis), who will sometimes be found calling in close proximity to these frogs. The Bird-Voiced Treefrog is smaller and is limited to oxbows and swamps along the river floodplain. They can often be heard calling, which sounds somewhat like a squeaky wheel, high atop the cypress trees surrounding bodies of water.

This photo was not staged. I actually found this little treefrog just like this, settled on this day lily. I think what really makes the capture complete for me is the pollen scattered across the frog's back.
Thanks for viewing! :)
Hyla andersonii
June, 2012. New Jersey.
The gem of the New Jersey pine barrens, this beautiful treefrog species is only found here and a few scattered locations in the southeastern United States. The Pine Barrens Treefrog is a denizen of swamps and acid bogs that are scattered across the pinelands. The Pine Barrens Treefrog is listed as a Threatened species in New Jersey.
This tiny Gray Treefrog (Hyla versicolor) is hunkered down for protection in the depression formed by the button on a light-green cloth-covered foam seat cushion.

A rare sight (for me at least), a "Gray" treefrog. Their color ranges from bright green as seen here to a very muted whitish-gray color. In 20+ years of living in Iowa this is the only one I've ever seen.
This girl was given to me due to her obsession with rubbing her nose. It's slowly healing. She's quite possibly the most colorful herp we have here at New Yankee Herpshop.
