This is a largish flying frog, with females growing to a body length of up to 7.6 cm (about 3 in), and males reaching up to 6.2 cm body length. Generally jade green on the back and somewhat translucent when small, a prominent red blotch on the webbing extends between the third and fifth hind toes.

The sleepy frog stayed on its back-porch perch all day. After dark I went out to see if it was raining; the sound of frogs filled the air. I looked on the shelf - sleepy frog was gone. Maybe it had choir practice tonight. Morgan County, Alabama - 2017.
Taken in the allotment of my parents-in-law. The sun already was quite low...
I had to get really close with my macro lens to capture this "golden eye"... One may say this is kind of a self portrait... :))

Probably the largest bush frog in Raorchestes genus(Previously under Philatus and Pseudophilautus genus). First desrcibed in 2005 from Ponmudi Hills, part of Agasthyamala Hill range in Thiruvananthapuram District of Kerala.
In IUCN website, the species is "Listed as Critically Endangered because its Extent of Occurrence is less than 100 km2, all individuals are in a single location, and there is continuing decline in the extent and quality of some of its habitat." But its based on old data as this specimen is photographed from Coorg in Karnataka which is far from the described type locality. So the conservation status may drop to 'Endangered' or 'Vulnerable' or 'Near Threatened.' Nonetheless its status is threatened with habitat reduction everywhere.
Common name: Ponmudi Bush Frog
Scientific name: Raorchestes ponmudi
Place: Coorg, Karnataka

This frog is similar to the red-eyed tree frog but different. Another name is parachute frog. Like all tree frogs you can find them in trees.
Wikipedia tells: The gliding tree frog (Agalychnis spurrelli) is a species of frog in Hylidae family. It is found in Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Panama. Other common names are the gliding leaf frog and Spurrell's leaf frog. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The gliding tree frog grows to a snout to vent length of 48 to 56 mm (1.9 to 2.2 in) for males and 60 to 72 mm (2.4 to 2.8 in) for females. The head is broad and the eyes are large, with reticulated lower eyelids. The body is slim with smooth skin on the dorsal surface and limbs and granular skin on the belly. The limbs are slim and the fingers and toes have adhesive discs. The fingers are about three-quarter webbed and the toes fully webbed. The colour of the dorsal surface of this frog changes at nightfall from pale green to dark green. The underparts are cream and orange.
I used a large aperture to create shallow depth of field. In order to take this photograph I had to crawl.

Als je in het oog van de kikker kijkt zie je hoe ik met een witte doos een schaduw over de kikkers leg. Op de knieën, op de rand van het vijvertje !
If you're looking in the eye of the frog, you can see how I lay a shadow, with a white box, over the frogs, on my knees, on the edge of the pond!
This wonderful creature is a Lemur leaf frog - Agalychnis lemur. They originate from Costa rica, but are currently critically endangered. I was incredibly lucky to get to observe, learn about and photograph a couple of these at Manchester museum under the guidance of Adam Bland. The museum offers the opportunity to view their frogs with a mini tour and a signed book by Chris Mattison for the small cost of sponsoring a frog, you will also be contributing to costs of conservation of this frog - see more here frogblogmanchester.com/about/sponsor-a-frog/
Jade tree frog (Rhacophorus dulitensis) - Danum Valley, Malaysia
The Jade tree frog is one of my favorite frogs that I encountered in Borneo, and undoubtedly one of the prettiest as well. It is endemic to Borneo and in my experience can be quite difficult to find. During the 2014 field season I only encountered this species twice, this individual who was about 20m above the ground and another individual who was being consumed by a Dendrelaphis, unfortunately I did not have my camera for the 2nd encounter. I was able to find this individual so high up in a tree as the tree was growing near a bridge and I was able to pass near the high branches where this frog was sitting. This species is listed as near threatened because it is rather range restricted and needs undisturbed forest habitat much of which is rapidly being lost.
Hey!

And here is another AWESOME one!
Frog - The frogs are still at it down the end of the garden. Normally they're very shy and all scatter as soon as I come out the house, however, these two seemed to be a little distracted for some reason
All my frogs are here:-

This frog was so laid back and chilled out when I clicked a couple shots of it. It even seems to have a laid back pose. The tree frog always seem to show up in force around my house from July to October. I saw my first one this year the other day clinging onto a window screen.
Most frogs are characterized by long hind legs, a short body, webbed digits (fingers or toes), protruding eyes and the absence of a tail. Most frogs have a semi-aquatic lifestyle, but move easily on land by jumping or climbing. They typically lay their eggs in puddles, ponds or lakes, and their larvae, called tadpoles, have gills and develop in water. Adult frogs follow a carnivorous diet, mostly of arthropods, annelids and gastropods. Frogs are most noticeable by their call, which can be widely heard during the night or day, mainly in their mating season. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
