Frogs and a Freak

[StellaG]

I love frogs, and we've been seeing a lot of them around here lately. These are Hydra tree frogs. The camo colored one is a Hydra Versicolor I believe.

This guy was on my picture window, fairly high up, hence the odd angle. Against the glass like that he almost looks fake.



This little guy was most odd ;-) very intersting fellow. He hangs out in the back of my koi pond.



This is my favorite little dude, I see him a lot on my boganvilla's. I think he's just gorgeous.





And then the Freak ;-) I saw this thing moving across the patio, it almost looked like a shell of some kind, like a hermit crab. On closer inspection, it turns out its a little worm. They build these lttle 'houses' out of twigs and leaves...whatever they find. It's interesting how their materials for their 'house' changes from region to region,

Very cool pictures. I think my favorites are The Freak and the Odd Dude.
Very good captures.
Thanks for sharing
