Can anyone identify these without photos I had two mysterious species - one of one, and two of the other. I have successfully lost the two of the really mysterious ones. First one disappeard when I opened a lunchmeat container a few days ago. Yesterday, I opened the bucket, which had been convered with a layer or screen then a box on top of that, to show someone the remaining individual.
I AM ABSENTMINDED! I did not cover the bucket well. The little critter escaped, probably right after that yesterday. I noticed the top on wrong and the critter missing todday.
The species looks a lot like what I have been calling spring peepers, but climbs better than peepers, and is smaller than peepers, and has a translucent or nearly transparent body. I woiuld have kept in the terrarium with the peepers (which has a fool-proof cover) and but the larger peeper I noticed would bite at it. Any ideas what the species is?
The other mysterious metamorph looks like a new meta of a Gray Treefrog, but is grey with black, and climbs just as well as the green-colored (the green color at this stage I know is pretty typical) Hyla versicolor.

Re: Can anyone identify these without photos Well, I have others that I have been calling peepers, but they are not translucent at metamorphosis. Maybe what I have been calling peepers really aren't? Are peepers translucent right at metamorphosis?

Re: Can anyone identify these without photos probably a American Green Tree Frog metamorph. I found what was obviously a American Green Tree Frog meta in my leopard frog bucket, and there were only only leopard frog tads there when I started. Plus, I have some American Green Tree Frog tads about to become metamorphs, and they looked like the ones that got away.
