    I love tree frogs. They are so cute. And not destructive. Thanks for sharing.

    Oh, she's soooo cute. You are really lucky to have even seen her, the way she almost totally blends in with the leaves.

    I wouldn't mind having tree frogs here. However I do have the usual European frogs which do a grand job of eating unwanted bugs and slugs. :-D

    So cute, like pretty broaches. We have lots of frogs like you Eileen making themselves at home in the damp undergrowth.

    Interesting, your tree frog is green as ours is greyish brown. I wonder if they are just as loud.

    What a curious little creature, Stratsmom. Have you seen him there before? Such a tiny thing.

    We have tiny frogs that attach themselves to our patio doors (on the outside, thank heavens). Their little pads are bright orange, and the frog itself is a neon green. They sit there, waiting for I don't know what, but it sure gives the cat something to watch!
    I don't think they are tree frogs, but they are about the size of yours, Stratsmom.
    Good photo--not the easiest subject to capture on camera!

    We have green and grey little frogs. The grey ones have a mask, kind of like a little bandit :-D this fella was kind of large compared to his friends. Hope he didn't eat the ladybugs I paid $9 for :rolleyes: Better go check!
