Cope's Gray Treefrog

Hyla chrysoscelis

Description:

Newly metamorphosed, these <15 mm froglets are almost transparent.

Habitat:

These frogs colonized a hard plastic children's wading pool that I have landscaped with native aquatic plants. It is true that if you build it, they will come!

Thanks Anne! I love to go out and prowl at night. I sometimes get really nice shots that have a totally different look than my daytime shots!

I went out to check 'my' pond last night and did not see any more of these guys. When they go through metamorphoses, they do not seem to linger long at the pond afterwards.
