This is a cute little green tree frog (Hyla cinerea)found in the I'on swamp at the Francis Marion Forest. I don't know if it's a male or female, but it was exciting to find, because I'd been digging around all day with no luck. Then, I just happened to see the frog sitting on a leaf. He or she was very jumpy and difficult to hold at first. When we got a good look, we could see the large toe pads used for climbing and the white stripe down the sides, which helped us identify this guy.
