Through the summer, this little frog and a slightly smaller companion lived in the morning glory vines we were growing outside the front door. There is an aluminum lattice there that was perfect for the vines to grow up.
The two little frogs (and other little frogs that came and went) would perch on the lattice or vines and eat the numerous insects that would come hurtling toward our door. I usually have to keep bug repellent incense going all through the summer, but thanks to the frogs – no need this year.

And then it started getting cooler… And the morning glory started dying. The bugs stopped coming. All the other little frogs had left – but two stuck around. Two tiny, thin, frogs.
I considered putting them out in the back yard, where lots of other frogs have taken up residence. But they were tiny and weak. When I watered the morning glory, they would creep out and sit in the tiny puddles… And do nothing else. I wondered if they would survive being released in the back yard. They`d been on our vines since they still had tiny tails.

So I went with the most obvious solution. I bought a large tank, made it into a little frog habitat, caught a bunch of tiny crickets and grasshoppers – and brought the frogs inside.

I have finally gotten around to filtering out the overwhelming spam, and to updating WordPress…
Hopefully I will be able to toss some content up here.
