We found this big frog, and several others, when we changed a light
bulb in the lamp post outside. I suspect that they enjoyed the heat from
the bulb, as well as an endless supply of little bugs to nibble on; the light attracted
their dinner. The lamp is a perfect frog habitat,
and redefines the term "bug lamp."
This swamp frog in the
Duckweed is a lot happier than the frog this
Glossy Ibis is trying to eat!
I had a plant I was trying to root, so I stuck it in a vase of water
outside. This frog took up residence in the vase, so I left it there,
plant and all (it has really great roots now; I'm going to have to plant
it soon... sorry froggie.)
This little frog hangs out on my windows sometimes. It usually hops away
before I can get close enough for a picture, which is a shame, because
it's a very cute frog.
The white stuff on my finger is paint; we were painting the roof. I
climbed down to stretch for a bit and noticed this tiny frog on my
Firebush. I have a
passion vine growing through that bush, and it gets
butterfly caterpillars, so I was a bit concerned that this frog might
eat them. I liked the frog though, so I just let it go and tried not to
think about that.
Quite a while back, I raised tadpoles (scooped from a local pond) so my
kids could observe how they turn into frogs. This tiny frog by the dime
is one that we raised. I guess I'll have to find some more to raise now
that I have a better camera...
