Daylilies don’t attract many pollinators, but once in a while, a little frog will shelter in a daylily bloom. I came across this little critter on Saturday, when I was making the rounds, deadheading finished blooms. It’s a Spring Peeper (Pseudacris crucifer). You can just make out the distinctive X marking on its back that is the source of its scientific name, crucifer: One who bears a cross. It’s tucked into a flower of the daylily Rainbow Eyes.

What a little cutie! Inside a daylily! I had a few toads this spring/early summer, but by now they are nowhere to be seen. I rather doubt the cats would touch them. Hmmm…..
This crucifer is apparently in charge of the tapers as well. đŸ˜‰
What a nice thing to see! You would not think these tiny animals could make the noise they do in spring!
