After discovering that Tropical Storm Emily wasn’t going to affect us at all this weekend (well, we did got nearly a tenth of an inch of rain on Sunday) , I went over to Mom’s house on Friday and found this little guy waiting for me in the garden shed:
Quite an interesting little guy. Much larger than any of our native tree frogs, the Cuban (Osteopilus septentrionalis) is usually IDed by size alone, but you can also look for the disproportionately large toe pads; no other frog in the southeast gots such big feets.
He’s resting on a foam kickboard I use as a knee pad, and he’s by a pair of pruning shears whose locking switch is broken (hence the twisty tie).
What’s your biggest treefrog?
