Cutest Frog

[Nyboy]

I have hundreds of tiny frogs in my yard, they are about the size of a finger nail. The locals call them peepers they sing all night. Not sure how many mosquitos the little guys eat, but they are welcome here. Do you like frogs?

We love peepers! It is a sure sign of spring where we live. I was also happy to find two frogs in one of our "ponds". I like them. I like thier noises and I like the fact that they eat bugs. Taste like popcorn they say.

One of my favorite signs of spring is the peepers! We have a pond, and at this point the peepers' chirps have been replaced by the croaks of big ol' bullfrogs. I do love frogs!

How cute! I didn't realize they were so tiny! Anything that eats bugs is a friend of mine!

Love them! They love it when theres water in my garden and they pay back eating bugs ! We do have desert toads, I dont know how they got here in the first place ! When I first live here there was NOTHING !! I also have some leopard frogs, I was told they are endangered.

I think of them as miner's canary. Frogs have permeable skin that is highly absorbent, making them suscipetable to polluttants .So lots of frogs healthy pond.

Love the spring peepers, and it just occured to me I have not heard them yet! Oh-oh. Hope all is well for the little guys. We always get frogs and toads in out koi pond. I expect to see/hear them soon.

I look forward to the spring peepers every year. Sometimes I find one climbing up the sliding glass doors around back. Not sure what they are after there!

Size of a fingernail? Are you sure those are not just freshly legged tadpoles of toads or other frogs? Have you seen these tinies sing?


I've got a mess of frogs and toads, live by a creek, neighbors have huge ponds and I have a koi pond. Biggest frog is a bullfrog, that thing is massive! The little tadpoles have gotten their legs recently and the tree frogs are still hiding in the trees or out tv satellite dish...
