Sommer Gardens / Sunday, June 24, 2012 / Categories: Creatures To kill or not to kill? That was the dilemma I was faced with the other night when I spotted this giant treefrog clinging to the shade cloth on my greenhouse.I'm not a big fan of killing things, especially beneficial creatures like treefrogs. But then again, the size of this frog and the large toe pads made me think it may be a Cuban treefrog. The Cuban treefrog is an invasive species of treefrog that is colonizing Florida. It will eat practically anything that will fit in its mouth, including our native treefrogs. The more I stared at this frog, the more uncertain I became. Was this a jumbo-sized common barking treefrog, or the more menacing Cuban treefrog? I opted to leave this one alone, and as you can see in the photo below, it was able to continue to enjoy its cool shower compliments of my sprinkler system.I know the Cuban treefrogs are around because I captured a couple of them last year. I have also observed a significant drop in the number of native tree frogs hanging around my brugmansia plants. One can only assume there is a correlation between the two.
