Good for you Greg .Only now Im uncertain for sure . The area is the Arkansas
Ozarks . Ive found references to Copes Grey Treefrog , Eastern Gray Treefrog
,Common Grey Tree Frog ,Southern GreyTree Frog And and a general grouping
of Grey Treefrog and Grey Treefrog as seperate from Copes Grey Treefrog .
They are not reliably diferent by anything external as adults . The Calls or
songs are different and I found a recording of the Grey Treefrog and a
discription of the Copes Grey Treefrog call .They have been spawning in my
pools -daphnia especialy-and hang on my window screans producing-it seems to
me- noises louder than any hard rock band . From the recording/description I
would say it is Copes . However Copes tadpoles are said to have a red tip on
the tail . I havent seen that on the tadpoles .Just looked around again and
found sound for Copes . Sounds like Copes.
You must be right on the scorpion . Its the only one in Arkansas .Striped
Bark Scorpion . Thanks .
