Northern Pacific Treefrog Froglet
Pseudacris regilla (froglet)
Northern Pacific treefrog froglets are tiny, newly transformed juveniles that stay close to damp grass, pond margins, leaf litter, and low plants. They hunt minute insects and other small invertebrates with quick lunges and a sticky tongue. At this size they avoid danger mostly by jumping suddenly and blending into green or brown surroundings. Their tails have vanished, but their skin still needs moist cover while they grow into stronger terrestrial climbers.
