Hyla squirella | Albany, Dougherty County (Coastal Plain), Georgia, USA | 24 May 2011
The Squirrel Treefrogs in this series hide during the day in a space under a wood-siding-shingle of a house. At dusk they come out to hunt in the back yard of the residence. Their comings and goings are very regular. There are more than 20 at the residence. They are outstanding climbers. It is not currently known where their tadpole stage is spent at this location (shallow standing water required for 25-55 days). Classification: Amphibia, Anura, Hylidae, Hyla squirella
I was slogging around in the marsh when I found this cutie today. He was so nice that he let me hold him briefly! Found near Hills bridge in Anne Arundel County.

That cute miniature beaver tail..
I wish these had come out better. Lynda must not have been holding the flashlight right...
I was out in the pond very early and found the grasses were full of little Tree Frogs....they were so adorable!
They eat several additional species of native frogs, lizards, and many types of invertebrates. Many homeowners in Florida report that Cuban Treefrogs appear to have replaced native treefrogs as the dominant frog found around their homes.

My daughter saw this frog hopping madly as she got out of the car. It is her thumbnail that this tiny creature is sitting on
