#Frogs
Um, #frogs / #frogsofmastodon, should we relocate this little guy to the pond? Or is he happy on. Uh. The screen door?
Guess he could be trying to warm up? Though it's a warm day heh.
EDIT: he left, guessing he was just warming his butt.
At 4pm they turn on the frogs.
First hike since the disastrous one on 12/31/2021, when covid changed my lungs. Felt sooo good to be back in the woods, in boots and with day pack.
Awwwe, Morty the frog didn't leap for my fingerworms when I stuck the phone in her tank, she luv me.

It's #FrogFriday (#FroschFreitag?) Bullfrogs are the largest frogs around here - and the only ones, whose tadpoles overwinter. Their sonorous call sounds a bit like a bull - hence the name.
After one night in San Jose we setup to leave the central valley of Costa Rica by road through the cloud forest, and then by boat, to reach the rain forest on the Caribbean coast .
My first animal encounter was this strawberry poison dart frog. As its name suggests, it can be used to coat darts for hunting. It's skin secretion are very toxic if they enter the blood stream.
They are very small and very very cute.
This is a frog wearing a witches hat drawn by @HailsandAles and I genuinely adore it. Every time I see it, it makes me smile. I hope it makes you smile too 🐸

Just published, my latest blog post about frog collecting. Have a read and see what I am talking about! It may not be what you think...

We've finally uploaded the video that we took right after this picture. It shows the frogs of Okeson Pond in Palmer, Alaska making quite a racket!
The world's worst animal disease is killing #frogs worldwide—a testing breakthrough could help save them.
Now, alive frog in your food, this sounds disgusting, but it's true.
#frogs #frogstodon #nature Ghost's little friend Spirit. Very tiny. They look other wordly. Albino Pacific chorus frogs. Enchanting. #magical
Good morning friends!
this morning I had to go in to my GP's office for my annual labs. My GP keeps a big old terrarium for these tiny poison arrow frogs*.
The froggos were very active this morning and it was lovely to see them. Look how pretty they are!
*this is one of the ways in which she is awesome
Filled up the watering can and this guy popped out of the spout.

Wood Frogs hibernate under logs or leaf litter and can tolerate below-zero temperatures by increasing the amount of glucose, a natural antifreeze, in their blood. https://www.naturecompanion.ca/herps/woodfrog/ #NatureCompanion #frogs

A fact and a confession:
I’m The Bee Guy and I talk to bees.
On a regular basis.
I greet them as they pass.
I apologise for us.
I ask if they’re okay.
And #trees
And #birds
And #wasps

And #ladybirds
And #butterflies
And #frogs
But mostly #bees
Especially #bumblebees
Try it.
This is great! Mapping frog populations via citizen science. I’ve used the FrogID app a few times to record frog calls, and now the experts have combined data from 65,000 users to produce open, accurate maps of Australia’s frog species. #CitizenScience #frogs https://australian.museum/blog/amri-news/australian-frog-atlas/

Die-hard fans of plant sex will already be aware that pollinators come in all shapes and sizes. There are plenty of insects other than bees that pollinate, and a number of birds and mammals, but I have to admit that until today, I had never heard of a frog acting as a pollinator!
URGENT CORRECTION what I imagined was a peeper turned out to be a lovelorn gulf coast toad. The species doesn’t really matter, I’m still not getting any sleep tonight #frogs

Several leopard frogs have joined the peepers in the nightly froggy mating call jamboree outside my bedroom window. Add in the katydids and it’s a brain-splitting triple bill. Kill me now. #frogs
Many a sad frog.

#FroggyTales #Frogs #Nature A better photo of my tadpole I am calling Ghost. Pacific Chorus Frog tadpoles
A red-eyed treefrog (Agalychnis callidryas) out and about on a wet night. One of the iconic critters in Costa Rica and I’m happy to see and photograph lots of them 🙂 #frogs #nature #herps #CostaRica
Saturday night at the frog pond.
Listener discretion is advised for tadpoles.
Males call, females choose. Circle of life continues.
SOUND UP. Just tryna catch up on Drag Race All Stars but this dadgum tiny, horny frog is STILL in an undisclosed location outside my bedroom losin’ his absolute SHIT with the screaming, and it’s harshing my mellow. It’s SO loud. Don’t know if you can tell from my shitty iPhone soundtrack, but it’s as if a tiny chainsaw did it with a dentist’s drill and gave birth to a baby jackhammer. Either he needs to sashay away, or herd of snake assassins needs to take him ALL the way out. Because I’m gettin NO SLEEP this way. #frogs
#FroggyTales #Frogs. New crop of chorus frogs. But there is a special colorless one. You'll have to look carefully. In the video look for the eyes. Top center.
The bark of a male Green Treefrog a few minutes ago hidden somewhere above my front porch.
Good luck Treefrog. This type of "Hey Baby" call has never worked for me.
This lovely pile of bibliophile frogs lives outside the Saratoga Springs Public Library in Saratoga Springs, New York.

A lovely little frog, identified as the Malesian Frog (Limnonectes malesianus) spotted near a stream at Upper Seletar Reservoir Park, Singapore, on 7 May 2023. It was about 10-15 mm in length. Listed as Near Threatened in the IUCN Red List, it is considered locally common but with a restricted range.

The Pine Barrens Treefrog is one of the most beautiful frogs in the U.S., but is rare and endangered.
So it was somewhat of a surprise to find them in this garden, even though there is a pond built here specifically for frog breeding. And May begins Treefrog egg laying time!
Their color is amazing "camo". The picture on the right is a close-up from above. Can you find a Treefrog in the picture on the left?
More in the alt text, and on Frog Friday.

Frogs with umbrellas
#vintage postcards and trade cards (19th and early 20th century)
i had to move instances & haven't been on here in ages so... hi, let me do an #intro
my name is beau, or boogie. i like: #reading, korean music, cop dramas (acab tho), true crime (not in a weird way), #jellyfish, #frogs, #bats #siphonophore and davinci.
i am #audhd, mentally ill & recently diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome which is somewhat annoying as at this very moment my entire arm is hurting because i am holding my phone.
anyway, nice to meet you.
The pond corner. The barrel will hold #peas later, but now it's #tulips (starring the double orange Orca), plus purple honesty that I dug up from where it had self-seeded. Behind it, #hellebores obscure the tiny pond, which is tucked into the corner and supports a few #frogs and #newts. A neighbor offered me her Victorian fireplace surround so I put it here with a mirror tucked behind, a trick from garden designer Mirabel Osler.
on days 66 & 67 of drawing animals I drew a bunch of frogs. frogs are cool, and can do funny things with their legs. And their tongues, still need to study frog range of movement and frog tongue action at some point ...
Not much of #frogfriday left but here's a White-bellied Leaf Frog (Heterixalus alboguttatus) observed near Ranomafana park in #Madagascar. #nature #naturephotography #herps #frogs
For this #frogfriday I'm bringing the fire - the Fiery Bright-eyed Frog (*Boophis pyrrhus*), observed during my recent visit to Madagascar. This male was caught up in his vocalizations and allowed me to capture a few photos mid-performance. #nature #frogs #herps #naturephotography #madagascar
I'm a student vet tech who's obsessed with #frogs and am learning #guitar! 🐸 🎸
I'm currently struggling with an undiagnosed #chronicillness (Maybe fibromyalgia. Still harassing my Dr(s) for answers) 😖
In my free time I game. I usually play bigger games WAY after their popularity has died down, some indie games, and rarely mobile games. :blobcatgamer:
Hopeful I'll have many great interactions here! 👋
This is one of the sweetest expressions of love for animals I have ever seen. I’m enamored with this Dazza fellow and his little frog sanctuary. 😍

A new species of frog has been described from the tropical Andes of Ecuador and named after J.R.R. Tolkien, the author of famous works of fantasy literature.
Only one individual of the species has been found, within the bounds of Río Negro-Sopladora National Park.
Read the story from Liz Kimbrough.

More frogs.
Making.
More frogs.
(We did warn you that there would be a lot of frog content here at the moment as they are only active in this manner for a matter of a few days a year - bee content will resume as normal as soon as the little feckers wake up!).

Research from Europe has shown large #solar farms can enhance the diversity and abundance of plants, grasses, #butterflies, #bees and #birds.
What’s more, vegetation between solar panel rows can also provide travel corridors, nesting sites and shelter for #wildlife. Management strategies are key to maximizing these benefits of solar farms.

Tiiiiiny green tree frog
These shots took a lot of effort in post to rescue something vaguely worth posting, since they were shot in low light on an iPhone 3GS (and with the usual handicap of two dogs on the leash). However I thought the frog was so cute is was worth a post. In the first shot is my usual measuring stick, the ISO Standard Left Leg. The frog appears to be about 1,000 little millitoes long.
