I got this tiny guy on my deck, it's about 30mm long. Can some one identify what species it belongs to!

Species? How big is it? I remember some toads like half an inch, a bunch of them hopping around. I would take a toad home as a pet, they delighted me to no end when I would feed them, put a bug in front of them and like automatically that long tongue would come out and grab it, almost quicker than the eye could follow.

I didn't have chance to measure it with ruler, it may looked like between 20 to 30mm long. Lots of B&W pattern on the skin.

Thank you very much! Luckily I had never touched it, if it was poisonous!

Looks like it may be a young Gray Tree Frog.
Nice capture!!

Thank you! I have never done image stacking, and was hard to shoot with the same composition with hand holding the camera, so I just keep the focus on it's eyes, made sure both were sharp, and the other part of it's body dons't matter!
