Thursday was warm and the American green tree frogs were having a field day. The above photo was taken in a backyard in northwest Greensboro. Based on the size, this frog appeared to be relatively young. These green tree frogs are more common in the coastal plain region; however, increasingly they are moving west and are now commonly found in Greensboro and the rest of the Piedmont region.
These frogs are worth their weight in gold with respect to what they eat. As insectivores, they love to eat flies and mosquitoes. When they get to their full size, up to 2.5 inches, they eat a lot of bugs! Who knows, if your children are in your backyard looking for Easter eggs, don't be surprised if a little toad or frog hops along.
Happy Saturday!
This one seems at ease.
