[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Having done some digging around on the internet, I have found that this little guy is actually a frog. It's a type of tree frog called the Pseudacris crucifer, more commonly known as the Spring Peeper. I heard them many times as a child but never saw one.. apparently because they mostly only come out at night. It's come back to sit on my front door at least 4 nights.. last night I finally got to see it eating.. although I only got to see the legs of it's dinner sticking out the side of it's mouth. It took quite a long time for it to finish swallowing those legs too... I think it's meal was almost as big as the frog itself. I have a couple more pictures which show it's size a little bit better which I will post and then quit tormenting you with frog pics. :D
