Update: the E. Coquí frog was captured by a licensed herpetologist who lives here; he will transport it to the Natural History Museum on 8-24-23. He is the photographer of the two images.
This creature has been chirping since the rain from the tropical storm in LA ended. Chirping only heard at night.
The herpetologist found that the owner of the condo where the coquí was located had recently brought home a plant from Rolling Greens Nursery.
Shared by a friend visiting family in NoLa. NO idea whatsoever on ID and this is iNaturalist’s top suggestion.
