What kind of frog?

I get these every spring, they love climbing up the glass as you can see, even climb up the deck to the second floor and climb the glass on that slider.

call them tree frogs around michigan. very noisy little fellas. mine hang out by the outside lights at night and eat all the stuff attracted to the lights.

Very beneficial, however noisy as indy said. We had one in a downspout and the noise was eerie! If you want to attract them, make a Treefrog tube, Google it.

Has anyone seen these? Purportedly headed to MA. Four inch parachuting venomous spiders. I’d rather have frogs….

Why would the photographer let it crawl on their skin?

These spiders are the latest from our good friends in Wuhan that we hear from every 4 years.

Yep, Tree Frogs.
I call 'em Peepers because of the sounds they make.

This little guy wandered into my shop at the stroke of midnight to wish me a Happy Birthday a few years back while I was happily working on a GTO and loving life.

I thanked him kindly and we drank some of his favorite beers together.

Definitely tree frogs.

You probably leave your outside lights on at night. They climb the door and catch bugs that are attracted to the light.

If you said wine instead of beer, I would have guessed you named him Jeremiah.

That looks a lot like the Black and Yellow Garden Spider (Argiope Aurantia) we have in NC. Although they intimidating/big and are venomous and can bite, they don't typically bother humans and the bite is said to be like a bee sting (i.e. won't kill you, unless of course you are allergic for some reason). Their webs are amazing and can be huge. We use to get them on our back porch that backed up to woods.

Thanks. I always thought tree frogs, but wasn’t sure, only saw them climbing on buildings, not trees.

indymanjoe 06-06-2024 08:09 PM

they can change colors like a chameleon. Brown on wooden fences and green on leaves.

Mostly nocturnal. They are grey/white with orange patches near the hind legs.
small frogs they make alot of noise. shy and slow moving but can can jump really far; and those feet are really sticky; it can catch/ land on a leave with one hand.
