European Tree Froglet
Hyla arborea (froglet)
The newly transformed froglet stays close to pond edges, damp grasses, reeds, and low shrubs while its skin adjusts to life on land. It hunts tiny insects and other small invertebrates with quick hops and a sticky tongue. Its small size makes camouflage and sudden jumping its main defenses. At this stage, the tail has been absorbed and toe pads begin to help it climb vegetation.
