Hi Julio, the type of plant is a Bromeliad. They are mosquito breeding plants, that I call them because they hold water. That water does get stinky, and it's not pleasant to get accidentally spilled on you!.. I used to have one in a pot on the patio, but I moved it to the back yard sometime last year. I have more of them in the back yard I bet have more of these Awesome little frogs.

It's early AM now, and all I hear is the loud croker, Urt-RR.. - From the video coqui rincon puerto rico singing - YouTube that XxExoticPsychExX posted, I now know what to listen for. It's a high pitch sound, and not what I been hearing at night. - In this video, I think the guy filming it, is also mimicking the call?

I had a hard time at first thinking these little guys made such a loud low pitch sound I been hearing, after learning they're loud. - A higher pitch would be more possible. It sounds like a bird, something I was NOT expecting? Birds do not sing at night around here, so I will pay more attention from now on. - Plus the frog in the video looks bigger then mine? Hard to tell.?. It's in a bromeliad plant for sure!

I would think these little guy's would want to be quiet, so they do not get eaten by a bigger frog's,snake's, or lizard's? lol -

Up north from here in South Miami, in Central Florida, the brown Cuban tree frog is very common, and easy to find because there's not many bigger lizards like the Cuban lizard, Skink's, Iguana's, Gecko's and Snake's that I have in the yard. -

I once seen this good size lizard, 8 - 10 inches, that runs on it's back legs, I forgot the name, but it was a non-native! -
I think this slowed down the invasion of the regular Green Cuban tree frogs around here, because they can get eaten easily. They're very rare around here, and hard to find anymore! - There must be pockets here, and there of them, because you can still find one.

The green Cuban Tree Frogs can change color chameleon like, but I never noticed this with the brown ones. Maybe they drop a shade or two, but the greens can go completely brown!

I hunt in Central FL, and there's a lot of brown Cuban tree frogs. They were all over! - When I got home, they were coming off of my car in the driveway!

I hope the wind dies down today so I can get more pictures. I think I spooked a pregnant female that jumped while I was trying to take a picture? She was very chubby, maybe from food,?, but no bigger in length!

I have to pot up some bromeliads, and set them in the screened in patio. I have 2 small doggy doors, and a tear in the screen, here, & there that invites the wild life in that I enjoy very much! - No mosquitoes!

Biological information: The golden coqui lives in bromeliads growing on trees, rocks and earth. Not much is known about their eating habits, but has been observed feeding on insects. CoquÃ*s no tadpole stage, but when frogs emerge from the eggs, are small replicas of adults. The gold is the only coquifrog species in the New World that is ovoviviparous, that is, to stop the live young. In this case the eggs develop inside the female's oviduct until then already formed froglets emerge from the genital opening (cloaca).
