Featherless Friday
Since I have been without any feathered friends this week, I thought I'd share an interesting creature I've photographed. I found this Treefrog resting on my car, and he didn't seem to mind the camera so I snapped a few photos. He seemed quite mellow and I was happy he didn't decide to jump on me. I didn't happen to notice how dirty my car was till I viewed the photos!
I believe this is a Cuban Treefrog, an invasive species to Florida. Florida is home to 27 species of frogs, as well as 3 invasive species. I do not regularly find these around the yard, which from what I've read is a good thing. Cuban Treefrogs are known to be big eaters, consuming large numbers of insects, native frogs, lizards, and even small snakes.
