This pie chart shows the relative likelihood of observing particular other species commonly observed near Hyla cinerea
These species are those which most commonly occur in our observation database near Hyla cinerea. Observations favor some phyla over others. Typically Bacteria, Fungi, Protozoa, and Arthropods are more common in the field than in our records.
This species occurs in the USA, from Delaware south to southern Florida along Coastal Plain, west to south-central Texas; north from Gulf Coast to southeastern Oklahoma, southeastern Missouri, southern Illinois, western Kentucky, western Tennessee, and northern Alabama; isolated population in south-central Missouri (Conant and Collins 1991). This species has been introduced into extreme northwestern Puerto Rico (Isabela-Aguadilla area), but it is not clear if it still survives there.[1]

Prefers swamps and forested wetlands with ample ground cover and aquatic vegetation, where it can be found among floating plants or in the vegetation around the water.
Swamps, marshes, and the edges of ponds, lakes, and streams, particularly where there is abundant floating and emergent vegetation. During daytime, rests among cattail blades or other leaves or shaded branches. Eggs and larvae develop in shallow, still water. Males call while perched on plants next to water (up to 5 m above surface) or while sitting on floating plants. Larvae occur mainly in dense floating vegetation.[1]
