#ニホンアマガエル 【北海道 #豊平川さけ科学館 】2016年7月

えーと、確かにアマガエルですけど！　私にとっては身近なカエルで、見かける機会も多いからこそ、そうだけどそうじゃない！という気持ちになってしまいます。野外で出会うアマガエルは、緑色をしていることが大半で、お腹もこんなに大きく丸くない。でも確かに、これはアマガエル。

#Dryophytes japonica

A tree frog looks at the camera. It's underside is white, while the upper surface is bright green. The Frog's eyes feature an iris that looks like gold filigree.

I know it's a stressful time for many of us with the election coming up, so here's a #frogfriend who understands.

A large angular winged green katydid rests just behind a green treefrog which is tucked vertically against the siding while a very small beetle with long antennae is just to its right.

It is day 3 and the frogs still have not realized I am not one of them...
