Photograph of a mating pair of Gray Treefrogs (Hyla versicolor) observed in a pond in Livingston County, Michigan. In this part of Michigan, gray treefrogs typically breed in May and June. The male frog attracts the female with a trilling advertisement call. The male frog clings to the back of the female and fertilizes her eggs as she lays them.
