Not quite the pest


While out in my garden one night recently, I happened on this little guy in my bromeliad patch.



I'd been hearing him for a while and was quite surprised to find him.
Does anyone know what kind of froggie my newfound friend is?

And I say friend as I just know he will help me in sniping those pesky slugs in my garden!LOL

Not sure what kind..but to be so small they can surely make some noise!

Thanks Diane

GT, this little guy was brown. I clicked on the link you provided, and the tree frogs are green, greenish in color. I thought maybe they change color but it did not state that they do. Also, I clicked on their sound, this little guy does not sound like that. Maybe another guess or two?

That's funny! 2 nights ago my husband and I saw one of these guys climbing the side of our house. He brought it in and let it climb one of our kids walls for a while. Then he took it back outside.

the brown tree frogs do not have such a pronounced white stripe, or so I thought.... and my green tree frogs do have the abilitiy to change color to an olive green trying to match the background

Thanks GT, I'm not quite sure what this little guy is but I am leaning towards brown tree frog. In the meantime, I found a cool frog id site. You can click on your state and their species come up. They did not show a brown tree frog for my state tho. I did have someone send me some plants the other day and he may have been in the bromeliad. but not sure. The bromeliad came from Florida. He was very close to the plant when I did happen to see him the other night.

Hey Spider, I'll have to check that out! Thanks
