Frog Friends

[lraquel]

A very nice frog sitting on my lawn chair.

Admire the adorably grabby toes of this gray tree frog. In Missouri we have two types: Cope’s gray tree frog, or “regular” gray tree frog.

This one doesn’t feel very regular to me…However, it’s so hard to tell them apart by appearance you have to distinguish them by their calls. Even their tadpols are doppelgangers. Learn more about Hyla frog species here.

Happy Frog Friday! – My backyard 2020.

My sister sent me (on my request) some pictures of two of the toads she found outside her apartment in southeastern Texas! I don't know what species they are, but she said they're pretty big - like four inches long snoot to butt!

I was out raking leaves in the yard when I noticed some jump oddly. It wasn't a leaf, of course, it was a frog! A little brown Spring Peeper (Pseudacris crucifer) was enjoying the overcast day and useful leaf cover. As frog hopped into the scrap of bamboo we have, I saw the X on frog's back. 💜🐸

today’s funky frog of the day is: bufo retiformis! commonly known as sonoran green toads, they are found in northern mexico and the southwestern united states. typical habitats are arid and semi-arid plains with grass, creosote bush, mesquite, and saguaro. they are nocturnal, and little is known about their behavior outside of the breeding season. they may live underground and only emerge during the wet conditions, and it is unclear whether or not they estivate. they breed from july to august, and the male’s call resembles "the buzzer on an electric alarm clock.” herpetologists assume these frogs feed on beetles, ants, moths, and winged termites, and they are expected to live for around 10 years.

*nods* Looks like a burrowing body shape to me.

I was eating dinner with the windows open to the cool night and just now heard a frog yelling at another frog for getting too close.

*wipes tear* Ah, nature!

[lumpy-jumpies]

They decided to drain the pond nearby, which seems kinda rude, but hanging out in the puddle leftover from the stream are a whole bunch of frogs! Mostly it's their green heads that are visible, poking above the water, but there's one on the near bank as well!

I'm unsure if they are American Green Frogs or American Bullfrogs, since their distinguishing features were below water. I took this photo this Saturday.

Mashed Potato has been growing. She is nearly seven times the weight she was just six weeks ago and has attained the body condition of pudding.

I was planting bulbs in the garden last night and startled another of the little green frogs with the striped legs! I really thought they were Leopard Frogs, but they have plain backs, so they are probably some other kind. Whatever frog was, frog seemed happy in the garden!

I figured out what the little stripey frogs are! Little Leopard Frogs! My mother saw one of the adults in the back yard among the garden plants, and I compared the photo she took to pictures of the little ones. Leopard Froglets come into our gardens in spring and summer! The spring peepers have the ponds in early spring, the green frogs by midsummer, and there's bullfrogs out now. Leopard frogs either sneak in around early summer or found somewhere else to have their tadpoles, as the green frogs are rather bigger than them.

This beautiful southern toad [Anaxyrus terrestris] was found in Montrose County, Mississippi, by Lawrence Haselmaier. Like their name suggests, these toads can be found in the southeast United States. They’re generally inactive during autumn and winter, but can be found year round in Florida and other warm areas.

Rescued another 3 frogs from the lawnmower yesterday! Two toadlets and a little tree frog!

Also the Green Frog was back at her post by the stream.
