Hyla versicolor/chrysoscelis, Vernon County Wisconsin, 15 May 2018.
Observed sitting on blacktop parking lot during the middle of the afternoon on a sunny day.
This tree frog is the real deal. He had to jump on my truck mirror at my house and hung on tight for the 10 mile ride to Wal-Mart. I didn't see him until I was parked. I was able to open the door, catch him and move him to the bushes!
This cute little immature Gray Treefrog, Hyla versicolor, was hiding on a leaf at Dave Small's place in Athol, Massachusetts.

Thanks to Adaire for letting me photograph her froggies at Ecology Camp.
The green treefrog is one of Oklahoma’s most distinctive frogs. This moderately large treefrog has a slender body and smooth skin that is bright green. Another distinctive feature is a white or light yellow lateral line outlined in gray that extends from below the eye to the groin.
