The largest treefrog in Ohio, the gray treefrog can be any shade of brown, green, gray or black, using its camouflage to blend into its surroundings. Instead of using its coloring, it can be identified by the unchanging, dark-edged light spot beneath its eye and the bright yellow on the inside of its thighs ... a pleasant little amphibian who was handle-high on a door to my house.
Osteopilus septentrionalis found during a night walk in Vinales, Cuba. This species is considered a pest in Florida where it is introduced and prey on local species.
I was completely lying on the ground trying to focus on the frog eye. When finally I took the picture and I got up, I saw a big tarantula just a couple of meters from me…do not lie on the ground in Cuba when it’s night! :D
About 1.5 hrs. after finding the previous frog in the front yard I found this girl on the back deck. I moved her to a more photogenic surface for some shots.

This most festive of treefrogs was hanging around on one of the poles holding my house up this evening, singing the song of his people.
Three tips to distinguish between Green and Squirrel Treefrogs: in Green Treefrogs (Hyla cinerea), a white stripe from the upper lip down the side of the body is conspicuous with clear borders but in the Squirrel Treefrog (Hyla squirella), if that line is present it is much more jagged and indistinct; the Green Treefrog often has green pigmentation below the white stripe but the Squirrel Treefrog appears to have the green stop at the white stripe; and in the green treefrog, the tympanum is usually green like the rest of the frog
To all who visit and view, and – especially – express support and satisfaction: you are much appreciated!

Album Description – Charlotte, NC – 2017SEP13 – Green Tree Frog:
An American green treefrog – my second sighting! – perched in the lilies by our front porch, this time a sunny summer late afternoon!
A young Green Treefrog (Hyla cinerea) - Black Point Wildlife Drive, Titusville Florida
I'm not sure why, but I've seen very few of these guys in Central Florida, and my captures to date have been farther south in the Everglades, or farther north on the panhandle. I do however see large numbers of invasive Cuban Treefrogs in the Space Coast area, so it's possible that the more aggressive Cubans have pushed the greens out of the area.
If you look at me in the eye,
you can see I rotated this image a bit.

This little guy visited my wife and I while we were having lunch on our patio on a beautiful early fall afternoon. He was really checking us out.
Yesterday morning as I was sitting on the deck with my first cup of coffee, I could hear a treefrog calling from the lily pond. I went to investigate but he quit calling. (Naturally) Every time I would go back to the deck he would fire up again so I decided to try and wait him out. I got my camera, warmed up my coffee, moved a lawn chair onto the gazebo and waited. It took a little over an hour but he finally tuned up again and I located him on the rock wall . During the time I was waiting, the sun changed positions so the the first pictures I got were in shade and he was flattened against the rock. There is one picture in the comments of him flattened ( stealth mode and shaded) and one sunlit and in full song. (click on any)
BTW I love the Beta tag on this one .....insect... ??????
I was utterly delighted to see this sweet, sleepy attendant on the boardwalk yesterday afternoon! Now that’s camouflage! Almost all the tree frogs I see are in their green phase so this was extra special.
