Cope's Gray Treefrog Froglet
Dryophytes chrysoscelis (froglet)
The newly transformed froglet leaves the water and shelters in damp grass, low plants, and leaf litter near breeding ponds. It begins catching tiny insects and other small invertebrates with quick hops and tongue strikes. Its small size makes camouflage and sudden escape more important than strength. At this stage, the tail has been absorbed and the animal is still vulnerable to drying out.
