Greenhouse Frog
A slow day looking in new locations around Tallahassee. I entered an area they began to clear for a building in the middle of pine forest and searched around in the rubble and junk. I found a perfect piece of trash to flip next to the tree line and found two of these small frogs hopping around along with four southern toads. At first I almost dismissed them as cricket frogs but there was no permanent water nearby so I gave them a second look and I'm sure glad I did.
The greenhouse frog, ''Eleutherodactylus planirostris'', is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae, native to Cuba, the Bahamas, and the Cayman Islands, and it has been introduced to other areas, such as Florida and Hawaii.
