If you’ve never seen an aberrantly blue-colored green treefrog — or if you’re already a fan — you’re in for a treat at Huntley Meadows Park in Alexandria, VA. Over the past few days two have been easily spotted along the boardwalk. One is almost fully blue and one is partially blue.
You can read a brief note about the history of these critters with axanthism and about the massive number of regular green treefrogs can typically find at Neabsco Boardwalk each September) in my note for the Virginia Herpetological Society: https://virginiaherpetologicalsociety.com/catesbeiana-pdf/cat44n2/cat44n2.pdf
Pages 106-107.
Have fun!
