What is for lunch?  eats insects and macro-invertebrates  Beetles  caterpillars,  Grasshoppers  Ants  also eat plants such as vegetation on the ground

Life is a process  3 stage life cycle  From egg to tadpole to frog it lasts only around 12 weeks

Where are they?  Spends a lot of time up in tree tops during warmer weather  warm moist conditions, in periods of dryness or times of cold weather these frogs will dig into the ground

Perfect tree frog environment

Okay… But Where are they?  Virginia to Florida Coastal Plain. also along Gulf states- Kentucky & Tennessee.  Barking tree frogs do not have territories that they will defend

Impacts on the Ecosystem  controls insect and invertebrate levels of many species such as:  worms  Moths  Grasshoppers  flies.
