Peering around the corner, a Gray Tree Frog waits for a snack. These common frogs can change their color from gray to green to brown, to match their background. Their calls sound birdlike. If you get a chance to look at one close up, be sure to notice their beautiful eyes.






















AMBUSH! A goldenrod crab spider captures an unsuspecting bee on a Daylily. This spider does not build a web, but instead leaps on its prey. It can change its color to white or yellow. Notice the flecks of pollen on the bee’s body: it was just looking for a meal, but instead it became one!
