Help me name my frequent frogger- 🤔 I'm thinking Mr. Burns • • Found out what kind of frog he is... • • Description: Gray Treefrogs are the fairly large treefrogs with large toe pads and granular skin. They are heavier-bodied than Pine Woods or Squirrel Treefrogs, with which they can be confused. They vary in color from mottled gray to light green but their color can change depending on environment and activity. There is usually a light spot beneath eye and the inner thigh is bright yellow or orange when exposed. • • Range and Habitat: Gray Treefrogs are found throughout the Southeast except for peninsular Florida including nearly all of SC and GA. This is the most common treefrog species in the Piedmont and Mountain regions of our area. They are found in a variety of wooded habitats but are most common in mature deciduous forest. Gray Treefrogs generally breed in fishless wetlands. • • Habits: Gray Treefrogs spend much of the year high in trees and are most often encountered during the breeding season, when they call from vegetation surrounding wetlands. Breeding lasts from March to August, but calling is most intense in the early summer. Gray Treefrogs generally spend the day hiding in tree holes or other secluded areas and emerge at night to feed on insects and small invertebrates. • • Safety Tip: This species of frog produces a toxic skin secretion that can cause extreme discomfort to the eyes, lips, mucus lining of the nose, or open cuts and abrasions. Careful hand washing is advised for anyone • • #gardenadventures #treefrogsofig #inthegardenofeden #froglife #froggy #amphibians_of_instagram #froggies #inthegardentoday #amphibiansofig #frogsofinstagram #froggie #treefrogs #froglove #froggy_explorers #amphibiansofinstagram #amphibians #treefrogsofinstagram #frogstagram #amphibiansofinsta #treefrog #innature #inthegardens #frog🐸 (at Planet Mars) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-p4VW7BLz_/?igshid=c7pdqmdrrc6b
