We were sat out on our patio one evening when we started to hear the ‘ribbit-ribbit’ of a frog and a little searching around revealed this little guy sticking his head out between the slats of a deck chair stored against the wall of the house. The Pacific treefrog (Pseudacris regilla), also called the Pacific chorus frog, is quite common on the BC coast and this one was about the size of my left thumb, around 4.5 cm. Common foods around gardens for these tiny frogs include flies, bugs and slugs, however the treefrog does have to be wary – the invasive ‘bullfrog’ along with certain birds & mammals are predators of these little guys .
