This little Green Tree frog was clinging to sidelight next to my front door looking for bugs attracted to the light. When I opened the door, he made a spectacular leap to the hibiscus bush and sat there long enough for me to get a picture. Only about 2 ½ inches long, you can see that his bright green color provides excellent camouflage among the leaves.
The Green Tree Frog is the state amphibian of Georgia and Louisiana. If you live in the South you may not have ever seen a Green Tree Frog, but you’ve heard them singing before and during rain. They have big voices for such small creatures and in the last week, I've enjoyed their raucous chorus since it's rained every night. They're silent tonight so I guess that means our weather is turning dry and hot. Gifted weathermen, aren't they?
