Last evening while watching TV, we noticed a movement on the window. It was a small tree frog about 2″ long. It had climbed up the glass stalking a moth attracted to the light from our room lamp. You can see the lamp faintly reflected. We grabbed a camera and got this unusual perspective. Its toes look tangled with cobwebs. Afterward, it climbed over to another window and continued the hunt.
Just hanging around.
What a wonderful photo –
I do hope he caught a good supper after all that!
Emma 🙂
I am pretty sure it did. There were many moths around. I’m impressed by the climb. It was at least 15 feet off the ground to the second floor window. Opportunity knocked.
I’m glad you had your camera handy, Jim!

I love those “suckers”. I call them my little helpers as they catch a lot of bugs. I get to see them every evening on my windows.
Their bellies must be full. Plenty of bugs here.
I love their suction-cup feet. They remind me of the pinkish, translucent geckos that roam around, although the geckos aren’t as cute as the frogs. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen one from this perspective. it’s a great photo.
When our nights become silent, as they do in certain seasons, I’m not beyond a little of this as background for computer work. I did go to Pandora Radio, just to see what they might offer up in terms of frogs. The list was pretty interesting, ranging from Kermit the Frog to Alice in Chains, but there weren’t any real frogs.
That is a great video. There is something settling about the chorus of different frogs. It is a special day in the spring when the peepers emerge and sing away. We have a small stream a couple of hundred feet away from out back door. Their songs are always welcome. Here are some from Grooveshark.

The tree frogs offer a different song. Last week, we enjoyed several days with our two daughters and 7 grandkids. Our host daughter has a big back yard with a fire pit and some trees nearby. The trees were humming with the little fellows.
Such a powerful and well timed capture, Jim. Thanks for sharing & best wishes to you, Aquileana 😛
Thank you very much. It was a fun thing to see and capture. We both laughed a lot about it as the little guy walked around on the sheer surface. Amazing.
Thanks for stopping by.
This was a special treat, Jim. Impressive that it could climb that high. Who says you have to go to the tropics for exotic critters!
Thanks for your comments. That was a fun evening when we spotted that little fellow on the window.
