Canyon Treefrog
Dryophytes arenicolor
The Canyon Treefrog is a small, mottled frog of rocky canyons, streambeds, and desert pools in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. It spends the day flattened against boulders, where granite-like camouflage hides it from predators, and becomes active at night or after rains. It eats small insects and other invertebrates, catching them with a rapid sticky tongue. Males call from pools during the breeding season, and the frog can lighten or darken its color to better match surrounding rock.
