One of Australia’s most variably coloured frogs, the Litoria peronii have have the ability to change colour in less than one hour. They vary in shades of grey and brown, where at its lightest, they can be almost white.
Known as the Peron’s Tree Frog (Litoria peronii), they also have a number of other common names including Emerald-spotted Tree Frog, Laughing Tree Frog, Maniacal Cackle Frog.
They can often be found near people’s home and garden. This guy below looks sooo guilty hiding in my bee apartment block (Peron’s Tree Frog).
