Wordless Wednesday: Tiny Tree Frog
Tag Archives: Amphibian
Tiny Tree Frog
This is the smallest Tree Frog I’ve ever seen, no bigger than my pinky fingernail. I’m calling him a juvenile, but have no idea how old he might be, or how he came to be on our patio.
Ted spotted him first, and thought it was the head of a juvenile Carolina Anole peaking up over the leaf.
There was a young Anole patrolling this Curcumin plant and the frog soon disappeared into the dense middle and I wondered if they were aware of each other.
Tree Frog In a Knot
A big leaf pierced its neighbor making a nice pocket for a Tree Frog to settle for a nap.
Swamp Frog
I hear frogs croaking and splashing into the water ahead of me, but rarely see them around the swamp. This fellow caught my attention with a small croak, and then was perfectly still.
Sitting on a fallen Powdery Alligator-flag leaf, he blended into the wet leaves pretty well and it took me a minute to spot him.
Tree Frog on Dried Stalk
After not finding a Tree Frog in the Calla Lilies around the pond I spotted this one right at my eye level on a dried stalk from last year’s hibiscus.
Tree Frog In Calla Lily
The Calla Lily was past its prime, but it still made a cozy spot for a tree frog early this morning.
Tree Frog: First Hidden Frog of the Year
I’ve been keeping my eye out for Tree Frogs around the swamp now that we’ve had some warmer days.
On Thursday I spotted one tucked into a palm frond soaking up the afternoon sun.
More Tree Frogs
Surprising to me in these 90+ degree F days (32 C) we’ve been having the tree frogs are out in the sun.
Do frogs yawn?
Their camouflage is pretty good.
I Spy In The Green
… a Tree Frog and a Grasshopper, and a lot of green.
The Tree Frog appeared to spy me, too, but he didn’t much care about me or the grasshopper.
The grasshopper ignored us both, too.
Green on Green: Frog
It was his shape that caught my eye as I rounded a corner to a small pond. He sat perfectly still, until he was GONE!
