Hyla versicolor
Could be either, but can only tell apart by #of chromosomes and call. Very 'sticky' grip and able to jump and cling to vertical surfaces. Very rough skin.

Thanks! I'm a fan of dragonflies and butterflies myself. :-)
I removed it from The Hoppers mission for you :) And yes the common names are there, don't forget to add the scientific name when you get a chance! (I also have an android, and I can't add scientific names from it, so you may have to do that when you get on the desktop tomorrow). These are such cool guys, tree frogs are one of my most favorite animals ever :)
Yeah, I won't have access to a desktop until tomorrow. I tried updating the species, and it looks like it took from my end. Geez I'm such a noob. Lol
I thought I did remove it from the hoppers and put it under Amphibians of the World... I'm on the android app, so I can't really tell. :-/
Also, it should be removed from "The Hoppers" mission. That mission is for treehoppers, leafhoppers, and planthoppers, which are all invertebrates, not for all things that hop. Thanks in advance!
This is either a Gray Treefrog (Hyla versicolor), or a Cope's Gray Treefrog (Hyla chrysoscelis). They can only be distinguished by their call and number of chromosomes. So you can pick one to put as the ID, then just put in the notes that it could be the other, but it is impossible to tell with just a picture. Hope this helps! :)
