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.
True story: My mother leaves the doors to the cabin open after a big rain storm. Next thing you know, the cabin is full of frogs!

One of our "mailbox frogs" had been positioned on the mailbox door when I retrieved today's delivery and allowed a photo shoot. Unfortunately, I suspect it's a juvenile Cuban Treefrog (Osteopilus septentrionalis), which is an invasive species. Indicators are large eyes, warty skin, white stripe near the mouth, and large toe pads. I'm awaiting ID confirmation. Among other things, Cuban Treefrogs feed on this area's native frog population.
It's now clear to me that one way the frogs get into the mailbox is through a rather large gap between the hinged door and the box itself.
