Coqui at night.
 

Found a coqui out at night. He was in the pot with my small dendromium speciosum. I assume he lives in the humidity of the rocks. I see them, buried in the medium, when repotting plants.

That is ridiculously cool!! Thanks for sharing.

Neat little guy.

So cute

Awesome!

Adorable (and good bug control!)!

Aw how cute now that would interest my dear hubby he loves frogs and turtles.

Really cute!

We've been seeing a little toad of some sort near our compost heap (where there are a lot of slugs). We first found it in a glass plant pot I had left out which had filled with rain. We think it might have been stuck in there and gently laid the pot on it's side so it could hop out. We then put a shallow tub of rain water with rocks in it so he could use it and climb out. We weren't sure if he ever came back but hubby saw him in the water the other night and he was gone by morning so we were really pleased we had put that water there and we're going to keep making sure it's refreshed and not going stagnant.

Awesome. He'll probably stay around the same area for the rest of his days. They like to squeeze into really tight spaces

are these the frogs that make all the racket and keep everyone awake ? I can't recall exactly. Are they in Hawaii too ? If you have frogs and toads it means you have a happy environment.

Such a cutie!

I love the coquis (even though, yes, their exuberant singing takes a little getting used to). During two years of living in Puerto Rico, the only time I ever saw them was during thunderstorms at night, when I would sit on the veranda of my home and watch some of the larger rain drops fall in the wrong direction. Only later did a friend of mine, who had grown up in Puerto Rico, explain that what I was seeing wasn't gravity-defying raindrops, but coqui frogs jumping across the patio during storms. It's amazing how such miniscule frogs can leap such great distances. After that I started to enjoy their singing--even though I was never able to find one of them during the day. Thanks for sharing the picture of your resident frog.

For some years I have heard a frog/toad singing all night. I mentioned it to a friend and she told me it was a tiny toad. It wasn't until this summer I finally saw one. And they are small-about 1-1/4" long and a brownish/maroonish color. When I say "sing" I mean a very musical chirping that is by no means irritating. Another thing is that I usually hear only one at a time. No replies from another area or back and forth communication.
They seem to like to hang out on my orchid table and for that I am grateful. :)

That's so awesome! I love frogs (& lizards too)... Here on the coast of NC, after we get a good rain storm, all of the (thousands of) frogs start to sing, & when you're beside the marshes, it can be deafening! It's a really wonderful thing to hear... & I agree with Orchidsarefun, the presence of frogs shows how well the ecosystem is doing :)
