Official State Amphibian of Georgia

The diminutive green tree frog (about 2 inches long) is lime-green with a white stripe down each side. The green tree frog is also recognized by the night-time choruses produced by large groups of males during the warm months in Georgia. It spends most of its time in the trees eating insects, but is also sometimes found clinging to smooth surfaces like windows and sliding glass doors.
