Wow, never heard of a nicer plague. We seem to have fewer and fewer of them these days. I love to look at them from a distance...the little toes freak me out a bit!!!!
I think if your frogs are like our Australian green tree frogs then they tend to like really thick mulch to hide under in the cold. Our frogs tend to crawl into roof spaces etc. or garden sheds. I guess they are like brugs....huddle under thick mulch and leaf litter and re emerge in the spring.

Jim we have tree frogs also and if you arn't careful they will winter in your plants INSIDE,LOL I just found mine one on my bakers rack and 5 more in my hot tub,these frogs are camouflage color,kinda tan and green. Bonnie

dunno, jim ...we get lots of unusual creatures here in Florida in the winter. some look like Frogs. :)

Mine are back and leaping out of pots & from under the rocks & foliage. I think they just go into a kind of hibernation. I've brought in firewood in the past & when it warmed up the treefrogs hopped out.
Tally HO!

lol@jim! We all know they bury themselves in the pots of our Brugs before we bring them in! :)

Everyday I walk around my car to make sure there are no tree frogs on it. Then I head out for work. Well with the time zone change they went back into hiding and here crawls one out of my mirror outside the car at 70 on a interchange. Worried about the frog but also my car and life I slowly slow down. I get a chance to grab him and put him on the passengers seat.

What can I say I really do care about them. Everything I do is kind of timed around their appearance spraying, watering etc. I guess to benefit them and the plants I will put a large mulch coating on top so they will have a good winter home. They are like 24/7 gardeners. They live and eat on my plants and sing at night.

I used to have tons of those cute little frogs on my plants when I lived down south. I think they bury themselves and hibernate in the winter. They really did a good job of eating bugs. The cattle egrets used to come into our yard and try to eat the frogs though.
What is really funny is when they eat a bunch of fireflies and then they glow for a while LOL! I have a pic of one like that somewhere...

I love frogs and I love the sounds they make. We don't have many tree frogs here but we do have the Leopard frogs which are pretty cool. They hang out by my pond. They hibernate in this area but I'm not sure where, probably under moist soil and leaf litter with the turtles. This guy was living in a bucket of water plants before we put the ponds in.

We have several frogs around here, they love to sing at the front door!! With the plants all gone now I miss them!
Jim, for the past few years they have found how to get into the tropical house and jump out to scare folk that go in there!

I don't know where they go either but I love them...

Wildflower I just love the pic of that little frog in the lily. We don't have any of those little tree frogs around here, ours aren't such a bright green and they are bigger. We do have loads of tiny toads about the size of a thumbnail but they aren't nearly as pretty.
Karyn

Karyn, we seem to have all different sizes and colors here...I have a pic that I can't find of one of the very small camoflauge-looking one's. Maybe I'll figure out where it is eventually! Here's one more..
{{gwi:584053}}

I will never find the pic I'm looking for...This is the last one I promise!
{{gwi:584054}}

Keep posting. I love looking at them : )

Awe what cute pics! I love frogs but so unfortunately does my dog so I try to relocate them to the front or side of the house before she finds them. The tree frogs do have cool little feet. I used to see them in Louisiana all the time but not here. I believe they dig in under the leaf mulch but not sure.

Here's are a few treefrog pics I've collected over the years...

Thanks the pictures are precious. I will miss them. They disappeared after the 1st cold front and now came back out. My dw told me a few months how they always ride to work with her. She now has to make a trip around the car to shoo them off. I am amazed at the number I have here in just a few months. There is one on almost every plant that is not in the sun. I can hear them singing at night. When I spray I have to do it while the sun is up and be careful and no pesticides. Maybe Santa will have me a macro capable camera this year. Keep those frog pictures coming. I may need a frog fix soon if it cools down much more.

Jim

I finally found my long lost picture...This REALLY is the last one!
{{gwi:584058}}

Those are adorable! I'm going to have to keep my eyes (and ears) open for some tree frogs next spring & take a few pics! I hear them 'singing' - but have never actually seeked them out. :)

Mike

We must have a few around here although I rarely see them, we had one that use to head for our cellar every fall. During the winter we could hear him croaking. Two springs in a row I met him on the cellar steps on his way outside. Does anyone know how long these little guys live?

A......

Tree frogs actually find a nice little tight spot to go into and go dormant here in Minnesota. They have glycol in there system that gets converted to glucose and actually freeze and the glycol keeps them from getting frozen solid. You may notice them going dormant, then if it warms up they will activate again,until it gets some colder. Then in the spring they unthaw and start there ritual all over again. Just love those lil frogs and there soothing sounds of the summer. Oh and watching them catch bugs out by the yard light. Fun little guys to watch.

The tree frogs are SO loud here, I can hardly think. We must have thousands or billions! LOL. But I love 'em too. We need to research tree frogs. I find them everywhere, and am always careful when I mow.
