CRAZY LOOKING ORANGE FROG - What is this thing, does anyone know?

[DayglowWolf]

It's a spring peeper.

I have a frog like this that lives in a tree right outside my front door and he is never shy, always just hangs around. Very cute but I'm afraid to touch it bc I cant find out what kind of frog he is!

@Jenjen9200 cool! where do you live? Canada?

[survivalists2012]

I found one just like this last night. did you find out what he was and did you keep him?

[ooosteve]

@survivalists2012 I didnt find out exactly what it was, but there has been some comments that may be correct.

I only kept it long enough to get photos during the day and also to show my son.

cool looking frog!

p.s. last week I found a masquito the size of a pool ball

I found a similar frog, tiny, size of a Pea..looks to be the same in Rothesay NB Canada...never seen anything like it.

@SJAHTV cool!

I am in St. Stephen NB... just around the corner from you basically.... small world ehh :)

This frog was much bigger then a pea, but much smaller then most frogs I have seen in NB.

From what I can remember, I think this little frog was just a little smaller then a quarter.

Cheers!

its a spring peeper.

its a member of the tree frog family but it doesnt climb really high like most other tree frogs. they are usually a brownish or tan color.

@pagonaciliatis Thanks for the info!

Maybe this one was a baby frog? is that why it is orange maybe?

suite : Désolé, je n'ai pas réussi la manipulation pour la photo , alors je te l'envoie par ton mail si ça marche ...

[Tabaqtayr]

Suite : Sa couleur orange est caractéristique de cette espèce , et elle porte une zébrure croisée sur le dos (cela forme la lettre X) , d'où son nom CRUCIFER (cruci = croix fer = qui porte en latin).

Bon, elle est inconnue en France où j'habite; mais tu en trouvera des photos par Google image en écrivant "rainette Canada pseudacris crucifer"

Je vai essayer de te transmettre une photo de rainette de mon jardin en Bretagne ... si ça veut bien fonctionner .

Merci et bonne chance.

Steve , j'ai identifié la rainette grâce à sa localisation ; c'est exactement la rainette crucifère (Pseudacris crucifer) de l'est du Canada.

[Tabaqtayr]

Une rainette arboricole , mais peu connue ! Pouvez vous localiser géographiquement votre observation ? merci

[ooosteve]

@Tabaqtayr I translated your question so I could understand it:

An arboreal tree frog, but not very known! Can you localize geographically your observation? thank you

Thanks for telling me what this thing may be.

I found it in New Brunswick Canada

Translation: Je l'ai trouvé dans Nouveau Brunswick Canada

Thanks!!! Steve
