Thought you might like to see the adorable hitchiker I caught sitting on my Datura flower. Shot this with my digital camera in late September. Ain't he cute??
Hitchhiker on my Datura...
Too cute and your datura is not bad either! LOL. Glad to see you here posting.
Gee, he's a tiny little thing. So cute.
Your Datura is very pretty.
I love the little Green Treen Frogs. I have them everywhere.
I had a lot of the tree frogs in my brugs this year. Had to be careful what I was doing out there. Fortunately I didn't have to spray much and the frogs remained happy all summer.
I have tree frogs as pets who live in a 55 gallon tank and live better than I do I think. Its so cool to see them in the wild. Everyone around here found out I kept tree frogs and everytime they found a wild one outside they would bring it to me. I put those babies in my veggy garden to help keep the bugs out instead of spraying anything. They did a great job.

I just started gardening last year and I had never seen a tree frog. I saw my first little frog two weeks ago. The picture is not that great but here he is:
I have them everywhere, too.
Oh, How CUTE MaryinLa! He looks like a tiny sleeping baby!

I'm envious of all you that have tree frogs. Years ago I had my first nursery in Northern California the property was teeming with tiny tree frogs. They were everywhere on the customers delighted in seing them. The nursery was aptly named Tree Frog Nursery. I kept the name and thus my DG ID name, mainfrog. I wish I had some live ones here in my garden as pets.
Here's the second one I rescued last week. I could stand to here the squalling it was making. That baby garter snake is going to have to find his meal where I not working in the yard. The frog was pulling the snake up the siding on my house. The first one was a much bigger snake in my banana tree. The frogs cry sounds like a kitten mewling and I couldn't stand it. I really hated to do it because the garter snakes are fixing to go into hibernation.
Also had 2 glass snakes on Sunday. I haven't seen one much less 2 in almost 30 years. Last week was strange.
Oh, those tree frogs are just adorable! The snakes, well, a little on the scary side for me!
KRNYSGIRL, you must live South? I'm in Ohio and I don't come across these ever!
Hi, Morph -
South? No.... I live on the shoreline of Connecticut. Zone 6b. Our house is in a very wooded area set back 200 ft from the road with a frog pond in our backyard. We are loaded with frogs here...you should hear the peeper frogs in the summer - they keep us up at night with the windows closed! Here's a pic of the peeper I caught one night when we went out hunting for them with flashlights...
LOL ~ that is a wonderful picture! If you didn't enter that it the photo contest, that would have been a great picture to add if tree frogs count as bugs? Connecticut, eh? Lucky you :)
Nice frog thread! I just love mine. They are all over my brugs, and hang out around the porch lights at night catching insects.
Donna, I'm curious, how did you get the snake to let go of the frog?
Here's one of my little darlings.

And how could you let him keep munching while you got the camera?Poor ,poor froggie......
Its a great picture,don't get me wrong,its just I would have been wrestling the snake, not even thing of how unusual the picture would be.....
...and if I had to find my camera at the spur of the moment the snake would have had time to finish off the frog and grab my kitten for desert!LOL
The gartersnake was afraid of me so when I touched it, it released the frog. Lucky for the frog it was a gartersnake and not a water moccasin or it might have gotten squished along with the snakes head. Lucky I have not had one this year.
