A tree frog is pretty recognizable with its suction cup like feet. That's if you can find it. Tree frogs change colors to blend in with their surroundings. A viewer sent us some pictures of a tree frog that they found hanging on their house and blending in with their siding. If you have pictures or video of something you've come across in nature; or have a question, message us on Facebook or email us at OutdoorElements@wnit.org. We would love to hear from you!
