The name tree frog, or tree toad, designates any of various small arboreal amphibians of the family Hylidae, which are characterized for having long toes terminating in adhesive disks.

Some species are hard to fit into either category. For example, Cricket Frogs have a warty skin, and the Gray Tree Frog (often called a "tree toad") spends much of the summer high in the trees away from water.

Sometimes incorrectly called 'tree toads' because of their warty skin, despite their long legs. Can change color with young and adults during breeding season usually being all green. Rarely climb higher than 10 feet.
