Tree Frog Under Belly

There's not much going on in the garden these days, so I've been amusing myself with all of the frogs I've been finding.

I know. I know. You're getting a little sick of all of the green tree frog photos. But I couldn't help posting this one ... I think it's hilarious!

This little green tree frog stuck himself to one of our (very dirty!) windows yesterday morning and he spent the ENTIRE day there. Every time I walked by, there he was - sucked onto the window. He was right at eye level for me (and I'm very tall, so that's pretty high)... I guess he thought it was a nice, safe place to spend the day. Or maybe he wanted to watch TV through the window?

I'm amazed that he didn't fall off. Being sucked to a window for over eight hours has got to be tough ... even for a frog!

Anyway, it's kind of hard to see in this photo, but it looked to me like he made a complete "seal" on the window with his body, legs and chin. There were no gaps that I noticed and his little chin (do frogs have chins??) seemed to be resting on his hands. I think he was about an inch long and he slept the entire day away like this.

Too cute!

Keep 'em coming my friend! This one is really awesome and some scientific organization should give you kudos for capturing a photo of a wild tree frog on glass so that all us interested folk can see how they stick. Didn't you want to tickle his tummy? Yes, tree frogs have tummies and chins!
