Small brown frog at water surface resting on dead leaves and other plant debris floating on the surface of the pond.
Spring Peeper from yesterday's visit to Return-a-Gift Pond, North Forty, Floyd Bennett Field. These frogs' chorus calls are so loud, it's surprising to see how small they actually are, with a head-body length of only about an inch. #NatureNYC

A small golden-orange moth with the wings patterned with clusters of black-edged white spots.
Several Ailanthus Webworm caterpillars, pale brown striped with black along sides, in their web.
A pretty little moth with perhaps not the prettiest name: Ailanthus Webworm Moth (Atteva aurea). “Webworm” of course refers to the caterpillar (larva), and here’s a bunch of these caterpillars on their web. #NatureNYC
