Litoria infrafrenata
Small brightly green frog with a white line running from his lip like lipstick to the side of his body..stopping just past his front legs. Pale yellow to white underbody with little suction cups at his "toes". Golden brown eyes with a narrow slit of black in the center of the eye.
Australia
Wikipedia says Australia..but I am in Louisiana...can anyone explain this?
Hyla cinerea is very common in la. The stripes on them are very variable. That is definitely h. Cinerea. It would be very unlikely for it to be anything else.
Hello again. This is not Litoria infrafrenata as I explained in my first comment. That is a New Guinea/Australia species, and the white on your specimen extends far past the "lips" whereas on Litoria infrafrenata the white stops at the shoulder. Please see the suggestion.
Hi I've just seen this. Wikipedia is correct. I have the species in my yard in New Guinea too. Here's one so you can compare http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/129... Yours is something else because of range, and also the white on yours extends past the lips. Maybe a Green Tree Frog, Hyla cinerea, e.g. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/147...
lovely first spotting Lisajourney3467!
Welcome to Project noah
you could also upload its scientific name Litoria infrafrenata.
Welcome to Project Noah!!! Some of the folks on here will probably be able to tell you why this frog is in Louisiana. :-)
