I just found a little frog similar yesterday painting trim on mom's house. He was light green sticking to white trim. I moved him to a safer place on the wooden deck, and just an hour later he had almost completely lost his green color, and had become a mottled grey. I should have quit working and just sat down and watched him change color, that would have been more fun.

Here ya go, learned a little something myself looking this one up.


Barking Treefrog (Hyla gratiosa)


Size:

Adult Barking Treefrogs are fairly large, ranging from 2 to 2.5 inches long.
Description:

Unlike the somewhat thin Green Treefrog, Barking Treefrogs look "chubby". They can range in color from green to gray or even tan, and can have a stripe down each size. They usually have spots on the back, although these can fade when the frog changes color.
Range:

Coastal Southeastern US (North Carolina to Southeastern Louisiana)
Breeding Season:

March to August
Call:

A hollow "barking" sound, like the voice of a hunting beagle. To hear the Barking Treefrog's call, visit the USGS Frog Call Lookup.

Once dug a frog pond. The next year hundeds of frogs. The next year a belly full racoon. End of story.

Cool frog pics and I learned something. Can you eat their legs like we do with bullfrogs or are they too small to be worth the time?

My god man!!!!! You're talking..cannibalism!!!!

 

[ivan salis]

tree frogs poisionous -- so don't even think about it ---messes up cats and dogs if they eat em.

Thanks for the info Ivan. Sorry BillyBudd, I see your avatar. However it would be cannibalism for you, not me. But you don't have to worry much about that anymore, because all the nitrates, nitrites, ni whatevers they used in Oklahoma on the soil washed down and killed off most of the bullfrogs in the area I came from. They might come back.

That's a big tree frog compared to the ones here, we have the little lime green ones. I used to catch them in the pear tree, was always amazed how they could stick to a window.

We might get a bumper crop of bullfrogs, when I saw the bear and found the bird band, it was also the first time I saw tadpoles in the river. They've always been in the tributaries, backwater, and mudholes, but not in the river and certainly not in the riffles where I found the band.
