Well that is nature! The food chain as we were taught in school.
Still sad for our frog and toad friends.
Toads in my pond
Very nice poses from that frog. BH, how close your camera was for those shots? Did you get to see the links I gave above?
Incredible pictures BeaHive! And not to mention a beautiful frog.
Here is my frog on the waterfall again. I sure hope he stays around for
a long time. I'm getting used to seeing him every day.

Good you remembered your 'promise' of posting a pic of that fellow under the waterfall. Ask him to pose for one - wait and click. He's sure to enjoy a showerbath sometime. That was a nice pose too.
Dinu.. I enjoyed the link to the Subramanya site. You must have really enjoyed the experience. The culture of India is beautiful ! hope to see the Taj Mahal one day at least. Must get my children through college before I can make any plans. :)
The photos of my frog were taken from about three feet away. Any closer he jumps into the water and hides.
Dene..love your frog. Sure looks like he is enjoying the water on his back!
I have the pygmalion of the frog world. I think he is in love with our rubber replica--too funny!
parrotma..what a great shot! That is a beautiful frog. Do you know what kind it is?
parrotma... I too have that rubber thing beside the pond! What a coincidence! But our toads don't sit like that.
Here it is almost 11 in the night and getting ready to go to bed. The toads are croaking like anything and I could not help taking my first picture of a croaking toad. I post this picture almost live! Take a look at this collage.
great collage Dinu!! He is very handsome!
The frog in the photo is the Bronze Frog.
Thanks. parrotma,
You can see the rubber frog here.
Here is a tiny little fellow just beginning to hop, sitting on my DD's palm [for scale].
Dinu. That baby is just darling. Your DD was excited to hold it I bet!
Great Shot!
Here is one of Big Mama yesterday.

A small one enjoying the sun.
Your toads/frogs come out during the day? Here they only come out at night. Except for the really small baby ones. They come out in the day to avoid being eaten by the adults.
Wonderful instincts of Nature!
It's always too hot during the day here so snakes, frogs and toads only come out at night. But small toadlets are always close to the water and can regularly cool themselves down. They become more vulnerable as they tend to get nocturnal. Larger toads actively hunt the toadlets. they'll wiggle their toes while otherwise remaining very still. The toadlets think the moving toes are insects/worms/whatever and move in to eat them. However they themselves end up eaten.
Instincts have their good and bad sides.
Today, another tiny little fella! There are tens of his cousins hopping around!
Back to digging old threads....... reason?
I have another recent photo I took of a bigger ball of toads! Can you count the toads? Same toads, different shots.
