treefrog
Climbing sticky-toed croaker
A treefrog is a small frog adapted for climbing, typically with adhesive toe pads that grip bark and leaves.
Most treefrogs are found in tropical rainforests, though some species thrive in temperate climates.
Their calls are often loud relative to their size: Spring peepers kept us awake all night.
Also spelled tree frog.
