Gray Tree Frog - Hyla versicolor These frogs have lived in my yard for years, but I could tell if they were Cope&#039;s or Gray Tree Frogs. I finally learned to discern their calls and have determined this to be a Gray Tree Frog. <br />

This individual LOVES my moth light. It comes to my deck at night when I have the light on and feasts. This is the look of contentment with a hint of smugness.<br />

Gray Tree Frog - Hyla versicolor

        1. Ohh, yes! Good idea. I tried to feed this guy/girl, but he wouldn't eat my offerings. He just lazily opened and closed his mouth without eating the bugs I tried to feed him. I guess he was full...or else picky. Posted 5 years ago
          1. Voila! A video is the only way to immortalize the evidence! :-) Posted 5 years ago

      2. It's time for a call name, no? Posted 5 years ago
        1. I have actually named it...Jasper. I think there may be more than one frog though...one came a couple days ago and was way chubbier than this one. So, I need a second name. I called the chubby frog "chubs", which may not be very PC. Perhaps I need a better name for that one. Posted 5 years ago
          1. I propose Coco.

            Back in 2007, Costa Rica, we were awakened by a loud woman scream in the middle of the night. All lodge inhabitants got up to check out what was going on.

            The tour leader entered the ladies' room, the lady pointing at an enormous toad in the middle of her bed room.

            "Ohh...it's only Coco", the guy said. Picking up Coco, petting and kissing it.
