I think it's a wood frog - these guys can freeze solid in winter and thaw out in the spring thanks to a special antifreeze that keeps their cells intact.

What kind of plant was it on? And was it eating the leaves?

Looks like if could be a willow sawfly larvae.

Thanks to all the great spotters who continue to comment on this tree frog. It's great to be a part of such an outstanding community of frog fans and nature lovers! Keep all those amazing spottings coming!

Common milkweed is an amazing plant - take a few minutes to watch the bees as they come and go. The plant has paired "saddlebags" of pollen that are designed to be carried off whole and have a time realease mechanism to ensure the plant pollinates an unrelated milkweed rather than a nearby clone...

Thanks - I'll try to post a photo. They were not as round as most turtle eggs I've seen. About 3cm long submerged in 8cm water. No sign of a ripped open nest.

Mitch - does this or any water snake lay eggs directly in the water? Found two lone herp eggs in the shallows today...

Incredible eyes. We have a species here with a similar blue abdomen. I just collected a nice selection of niads for a class discussion in the pilot program.

Nice find! You can't get that shot in Brooklyn...

Wow - that was a great series - and great narration, Thanks!
