I don't think the heat bothers the tree frogs. They do like moisture though. Mine like to hide under the siding on the house and around the window edges. They will get in a rubbermaid cabinet in the back of our shed that houses our electrical control boxes for the electric fences. We have those square plastic post around the pond and sometimes when I take the cap off the top and look down inside the post they will be hiding there. They can squeeze into very small tight places, but they are able to get out also.

My neighbor has a pond and in the late spring and summer the frogs croak all night. I like them but not the Mosquitos, I wish the neighbors would use those discs that stop the skeeters from hatching. I love trees because of their beauty and most important to me their shade and cooling of the temps. I can't wait until I can walk in my yard and not have to be in the sun for too many steps. I may have to live long for that, another 20 years at least, I'll be 62 then.

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

Don't know really. A few years back I noticed Green Tree Frogs at my place were becoming more brown rather than green. I tried to find out why but ran into a 'blank wall'. Haven't seen them brown the last couple of years and there doesn't seem to have been any detrimental effect to the population. Haven't noticed changes in other species, other than the ones that are highly variable anyway. Most frogs seem to be able to adjust their colours to suit their surroundings to some extent, maybe that's what they've been doing.
