Pine Woods Treefrog vs. Squirrel Treefrog

Squirrel Treefrogs share the Florida Parishes pinelands (a record within 10 km of 27 of 28 Louisiana Pine Woods records); both are small and change colour, and Pine Woods Treefrogs are sometimes green like a Squirrel. A: Pine Woods can be green too: look for the dark eye line and rough skin in the Pine Woods Treefrog; smooth, plain green; no dark line along the side in the Squirrel Treefrog. B: Rougher, finely granular in the Pine Woods Treefrog; smooth in the Squirrel Treefrog. C: Larger toe pads in the Pine Woods Treefrog; smaller toe pads in the Squirrel Treefrog. D: Dark, with small yellow, orange or white spots in the Pine Woods Treefrog; plain yellowish, no spots in the Squirrel Treefrog. E: A dark line from the nostril through the eye and along the side in the Pine Woods Treefrog; no sharp dark line along the side in the Squirrel Treefrog. The thigh spots are hidden when the frog sits; a photo of the frog climbing often shows them.
