Geocache Description:

Hyla versicolor



The Grey Tree Frog(Hyla versicolor) is considered to be the local chameleon of the frog world. It is capable of adapting to backgrounds ranging from gray to green. It can be identifed by the always present white spots under it eyes and a white belly and yellowish-orange markings on the inside of its hind legs.

It can be found from Manitoba to New Brunswick and further south into the southern United States. The gray treefrog may be found in many types of tree and shrub communities located near permanent water. The species usually lives in woodlands but may also frequent orchards. The gray treefrog is a true tree frog, it can be found at the top of even the tallest trees. These frogs are rarely seen outside the breeding season. When they are not active, they hide in tree holes, under bark, in rotten logs, and under leaves and tree roots. Gray treefrogs overwinter under leaf litter and snow cover. Their eggs and larvae develop in shallow woodland ponds and marshes, puddles, ponds in forest clearings, swamps, bogs and many other kinds of permanent or temporary waterbodies that have no significant current, including ponds that humans have excavated.

This series of frog caches is meant to be fun, easy and a bit informative. They are all park and grabs and should be no problem finding them. I hope you enjoy them and learn a bit about our local froggie friends in the process.

 The actual cache container is much larger than a micro but the cache will not hold any items. Please bring your own writing implement, you will understand when you find it.
