Green Tree Frog

Hyla cinerea

Description:

Their bodies are usually green in shades ranging from bright yellowish olive to lime green. The darkness of the color can change depending on lighting or temperature. There may be small patches of gold or white on the skin, and they may also have a white, pale yellow, or cream-colored line running from the jaw or upper lip to the groin. They have smooth skin and large toe pads. The abdomen is pale yellow to white.

Habitat:

They "prefer habitats with plentiful floating vegetation, grasses, and cattails" and are often found in "small ponds, large lakes, marshes, and streams." These were observed trying to hide in the fronds of a Cabbage Palm at a County nature Preserve in a wetlands area approximately 20 yards from the creek that flows through the area.
