The things you find

Did you kill the noisy little things?

 

those little specks?
those are frog eggs?

edit:
oh...
you changed the photo...

 

You missed your chance to help eliminate noise pollution. I guess you're use to the all night serenade.

 

So they don't go through the tadpole stage -- they just become frogs? That's interesting. Now I need to go Google coqui. Thanks for the pics. I'm always finding little ringneck snakes in my pots. I'd rather find frogs.

 

What's that writing on your palm?

 

LOL. I saw it and wondered. Mary Jane saw it and asked. Funny.

 

Too cool, Neyra! I think coquis are cute, and I like their racket.

 

What a cool thing to find!

 

What did you do with the eggs? I would love to see baby frog photos!

 

Is it frog legs yet?

 

I despise coqui frogs.

 

Cool and ick at the same time.

 

The coqui frogs are loose in Hawaii, surly paradise is now lost.

 

When we first visited the Big Island we drove down a beautiful road in a canopy of trees at dusk with the sunroof open and windows down. As we were passing Lave Trees park we heard this horrendous cacophony. It was coquis. At that time the outbreak was pretty new and they made a lame attempt to contain them that seemed to consist of cutting down all the trees.
Now they are rampant from Hilo throughout the Puna district up to a few thousand feet of elevation.
When we first bought our house I loved to go to sleep and wake up to the sounds of the rain forest. I now sleep with ear plugs in because of the fucking frogs.
Before someone defends them or points out that they are practically a national amphibian in PI, let me point out that in Hawaii they have no predators and are competing with the geckos for food.
I keep a spray bottle filled with citric acid handy and soak the bastards, every one I find.
Thanks for listening. My rant has now ended.
Carry on...

 

Does the citric acid kill em, Jon?
