Gray Treefrog
Hyla versicolor
46.3534, -95.6741
Field Notes
Description:
A green frog with some orange or dark-yellow markings on its hind legs and feet
Habitat:
On the windows and wall in our covered porch at night after a gentle but steady rain. Our porch faces a lake and is within a seven mile radius of wetlands, woodlands, farmlands and prairie fields.
Notes:
We used to keep the porch light on at night throughout summer until I started seeing large dragonflies and moths fluttering too close to the light bulbs and feared for their safety. This was taken back when we kept the lights on so we had a lot of spiders, moths and bugs trapped in spider webs for the frogs and toads to dine on. This was a particularly good night for amphibians as we had a wood frog, this guy, an american toad and another itty-bitty toad (smaller than a fingernail) that came to dine. Dinner was served between 9:30 and 10:30 p.m..
