not the largest, but significantly larger than what you think of as tree frog sized

Thanks. I did notice the scar on the branch which made me wonder about the size. Thanks for the descriptions they are very informative.

Beautiful photos.

I live in a desert, which of course is beautiful too, but you're making me jealous with all the wonderful amphibians!
