Field Notes

Description:

I found this little guy in this creamy-colored tent cloth that we had on our deck. I was moving it and I found this little guy. He was the exact same color as the cloth and yellow under his legs.

Thank you so much Latimeria, I really appreciate it :) I would have never figured it out myself... haha

That yellow patch on its hind legs is always there, and means it's either Hyla versicolor or Hyla chrysoscelis. Those two species are impossible to tell apart just from pictures, however.
