Little Sucker!

[AnthonyC]

This little "sucker" was stuck to my window a few minutes ago. Note: It's 43 degrees outside! Isn't it a little cold for these guys??

 

[jackrat]

Yep,he's probably a little chilly.

 

[AnthonyC]

Any idea what the hell he is, Jack??

Yep,he's probably a little chilly.

You were probably able to see him because it is so cold. I see all kind's of lizards and frogs on my morning walk's they are all like in slow motion desperate to find a sunny spot to warm up.

Possibly Pseudacris c. crucifer?

hi, he is a cute little sucker! lindy

I agree, it's most likely a Peeper (Pseudacris crucifer). Funny little guys.

 

[AnthonyC]

Thanks for giving that to me in English!

I used to keep them as a kid. I accidentally discovered how to grow fruit flies, the Spring Peepers loved Fruit flies.

Peepers were so much fun to keep, but them they started to sing, myfamily "asked" me to let them go.

They will not be singing for a few months.

Yep, defiantly a spring peeper. You can tell by the marking (looks like an x) on it's back. They are LOUD, I repeat, having a calling male in your bedroom is not a good idea unless you sleep really deeply! Tried it once.

I love those guys. After a long winter they're usually a sure sign that spring is just around the corner. Unfortunately that corner is miles away from here!

Can't wait to hear them again. One of my favorite sounds in spring

This is so true and if you have two males, and no female(s) in the same room. The sound inside glass (aquariums) is obsene and even if you are a sound sleeper or somehow adjust to the noise, others around you will not appreciate the froggy chorus. I so enjoyed them, my family hated them.

They may be horrible inside, but outside their singing is wonderful.

Agreed.
