A creepy little critter has taken a liking to set off the security system at a Lehigh Acres home.
Dean Gordon was fast asleep early Sunday morning when all of a sudden his phone buzzed with a notification. When he picked it up, he could barely believe his drowsy eyes.
“I thought it was a human hand and I was like, ‘Hold on. Let me watch it again,’” Gordon said.
It was quite the wake-up call, especially for 1:40 a.m. Quite frankly, it was the last thing he expected to see moving in his backyard.
“Then I said, ‘That looks like an octopus,’” Gordon said.
It’s a little closer to a guess, but still not there yet. Nonetheless, it was enough to intrigue Gordon enough to share the video on Facebook, asking anyone to help figure out what exactly the critter could be. However, his interest really sparked the next night.
“The second video was from around front,” Gordon said. “That’s when he stopped and I saw the leg and I think the eye. You could see the frog’s legs, big eye.”
It turns out that the creepy critter is actually a tree frog, a Cuban tree frog to be exact.
The little frog that freaked Gordon out can actually climb. It’s usually trees, but they’re found all over, according to experts.
