This is a common backyard species that can often be seen at porch lights, where they may gather to to look for insects to eat. During the day, the green tree frogs may be found resting on the plants beside the pond.
Characteristics The frog is medium-sized, up to 6 centimeters (2.5 in). Their bodies are usually colored green with shades ranging from bright yellowish olive to lime green. The darkness of the color can change depending on lighting or temperature. There may be some small patches of gold or white. They may also have a white, pale yellow, or cream-colored line running from the jaw or upper lip to the groin. They have smooth skin and large toe pads. The abdomen is pale yellow to white. Males have wrinkled throats (indicating the vocal pouch) and are slightly smaller than females. Like most frogs, they eat a diet of insects (mostly crickets, moths, and flies) and other small invertebrates. They are sometimes seen on houses around windows or exterior lights, in search of insects. The mating season takes place from mid-April to mid-August. Females lay up to 400 eggs in shallow water, which attach to the roots of aquatic plants. Embryos hatch within one week, and tadpoles transform between 55 to 63 days after hatching. Weather conditions influence breeding, which often takes place in rain. The frogs are often seen during and after a rainstorm. Tadpoles in captivity eat boiled vegetables, such as cucumbers or lettuce.[1] Image File history File linksMetadata Download high-resolution version (2048x3072, 1638 KB) Hyle cinerea green tree frog Chincoteague Refuge 2005, Brian Gratwicke File history Legend: (cur) = this is the current file, (del) = delete this old version, (rev) = revert to this old version. ...
