    A tree frog has been found near the top of a 62-meter-tall tree in SW China

    In May 2019, scientists found an Asian black-webbed tree frog (Rhacophorus kio) resting at the canopy of a 62-meter-tall Parashorea chinensis tree in southwest China's Yunnan Province.
    Five months later, another Asian black-webbed tree frog was found on a smaller Parashorea chinensis tree in the same region.

    The two tree frogs were observed at a height of 57.0 and 34.6 meters respectively, breaking the record of the highest arboreal frog. Previously, the highest record was made by a gray tree frog (Hyla versicolor), who was seen living in the tree canopies as high as 20.5 meters above ground in Wisconsin U.S.

    This reminds me of the fable of the deaf tree frog.
    'The tale of a tiny deaf frog gives you a strong inspiration for how to conquer the negativity that you find in your life.'

    There are many version of this tale, a church bell tower is seen in one version. The original version was with the tall oak tree thou, I do believe.

    condensed version...
    The Deaf Frog – An Inspirational Story about Overcoming
    This is a tale of a little tree frog that had entered a race to be first to climb the biggest tree in the forest. As the race went on many frogs dropped out and some due to the chants that came from the crowd below telling them that the tree was too tall and they could never climb it at all.
    Our little frog had a great disadvantage as he was such a small little frog compared to many of the rest. But he had one huge advantage and that was that he was deaf and could not hear the negative chants coming from the crowd which had turned all the other frogs around. Our little tree frog made it to the top.

    The Moral Of The Story
    Be deaf when people tell you that you can not fulfill your dreams and goals.

    "The illusion of freedom will continue for as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will take down the scenery, move the tables and chairs out of the way, then they will pull back the curtains and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater."

    Those are some green ones too, most of those around riversbend are a little darker. They can stick on anything I think especially to windows.

    Had a friend flying a Helicopter and one was stuck to his window for a trip to an offshore rig. I guess he left it out there he said it wasn't there after they unloaded.
    It had plenty of bugs around the lights out there I'd bet.

    Great story Crazed.
