The Canyon Treefrog (Hyla arenicolor) is a small frog that inhabits the rivers and stream banks of rocky areas in the desert Southwest.

Skin color varies from location to location, and it generally serves as an effective camouflage against predators.

Their diet consists of the aquatic and terrestial insects in their territory.

They are considered nocturnal, but are active during the day in milder climates within their range.
