Reader Mark Sturtevant sent us a “spot the. . . ” picture. Answer forthcoming in a few hours.
I have placed a single frog that is commonly known as the grey tree frog (Hyla versicolor) somewhere in this garden scene. Can the readers of WEIT find the frog?I assure everyone it is in plain sight. Good luck!

I can spot the flamingo, does that count?
And I feel proud, got the frog as well. 🙂
lower right next to a dead leaf and left of the pinkish blossom.
Agree.
That is it.
Found it after a good five or six minutes!
‘Grey tree frog’? Thank slightly differently – laterally even – if you cannot find it.
Found it. Why is it called “Grey”?
Hardly an ordinary garden scene – no slug or snail holes in your Hostas!
I will name another family you probably have – Megachilids – mason bees! Note the hole cut in the rose leaf…
The holes come late in the summer.
Well done! I’ve spotted it, but will not spoil the thrill of discovery for others.
Matt, well done! Usually the frogs leap out at you, today I needed the reference image. It must be the color changes (“collisions”) that trick my pattern search.
Sorry Mark, maybe I’m just tired, I was pretty sure I wrote “Mark” but nooo…
Yes! To my surprise, I got it!
In the leaf, right, lowish.
The frog is approx. 15% from the right edge of the photo and 30% from the bottom edge of the photo.
Must think small and green.
I like that: Thinking of buying a new car/house/rv? Think small and green.
Was this taken recently? All my Hostas are done for the season…and have been for a couple weeks at least.
Earlier in the summer.
Aha…
Tree frogs were thick this summer. I’ve never heard them croaking so much. Just deafening. Bumper crop. There must be dozens in every tree around here in south central New York this year.
