Young (metamorph) Canyon Treefrog

Hundreds of these were swimming in shallow pools this September in Santa Cruz county, along with many more less-developed tadpoles of various species. This is the southern-most example of a Canyon Treefrog I had seen.

Also out in vast numbers were these big lubber grasshoppers. They were so big that I first mistaked them for tarantulas crossing the road when I saw them.
