w1225 ~ Michigan Gray Treefrog

Gray treefrogs (Hyla versicolor) can change their skin colors and patterns much like a chameleon, showing variations of gray, brown, green, and pearl gray. This one had a mottled green back after hiding among leaves. The golden yellow patches on the underside of the legs and the white belly are used as a predator deterrent when the frog is attempting to escape.   If interested in licensing a high-resolution version of this photo, please visit our licensing portfolio at ShutterPoint.com or contact us directly. © Keto and Katie Gyekis
