the frogs are out

[greg.l]

The rain has brought out the frogs - the little patches of white are frogspawn in the pond. I counted 17 patches, should be lots of tadpoles for the red-belly blacksnakes to chase. I think they are Lymnodynastes tasmaniensis eggs - spotted grass frog.

Do red bellied blacks swim Greg?

[greg.l]

Red-belly blacks swim so well I have mistaken them for eels. They can stay underwater for a long time, and frogs and tadpoles are their favourite food. At least there are no recorded fatalities from their bite, but we can't have a pond near the house because they like to hang around ponds.

What are gorgeous little pond. That's frogspawn? How interesting.

I have frogs in my laundry tub and frogs behing plaques on outdoor walls.
Frogs in the garden ponds and frogs in the dam.

Luckily I love frogs
And I believe that having frogs means you have a healthy environment.

I have lots of lizards too.
I love them as well

I have no snails or slugs
I have very few caterpillars which means not much eats my plants
But it also seems that then I don't have a lot of butterflies
But I do have bees

So I am happy

Last time I counted we about 6 different varieties of frogs here (based entirely on the different croaks one wet night.) As much as I love having them I am very grateful for earplugs at night. lol

Plenty of lizards and no snails here too wanderer.

It is really a big headache to let all frogs go away from ponds specially in rainy season,as it is harmful for plants of pond when spread insecticides in out of limit so I drop some nonpoisonous snail, slugs and snake on my pond they eat frogs and help me to reduce numbers of frogs in my big pond.
