Hyla cinerea

American Green Tree Frog

 

This picture was originally posted here, which is where you can leave comments.

 

This is a green tree frog, Hyla cinerea. It is easily identified as a tree frog by its small size and the fact that when you see it, it will probably be on a vertical surface, thanks to its large pads on the tips of its toes. What further distinguishes this as a green tree frog is its smooth green color and the white or yellow stripe extending from the upper jaw along the body. I really like seeing these frogs around my house and on the windows.
