Pacific Tree Frog
The ventral surface is whitish or cream with yellow on undersides of legs and lower abdomen. Their legs are long and slender; their toes have round pads, which help the frog grip and climb, and there is very little webbing between the toes, making them look quite long. They have smooth skin.
They are small frogs, up to 5 centimetres long. Females are slightly larger than males, a feature common to many frogs.
Benefits of Treefrogs: Treefrogs and many other native frogs and toads in Oregon are on the decline and need our help. Frogs are an important component of a healthy ecosystem. They eat insects and slugs around ponds, streams, homes and gardens, and they are sources of prey for other wildlife. You can help by managing your property in a frog-friendly manner.
