   Hi, Just want to point out that the treefrog pictured is a Category 1, Non-Native, invasive Cuban Treefrog! The large toepads are the giveaway, plus they grow much larger than our natives, which max at about 2&1/4 to 2&1/2 inches in length! They are voracious eaters, consuming native frogs, lizards, bird eggs and small birds, and others. The University of Florida (ifas) recommends capturing and euthanizing.
   Perhaps you could have a column about the many invasive species we have in Pasco County for newbees and residents who just don’t know. Dr. Whitney Elmore at the Pasco County Extension.Office would be a great source of information.
