A Plague Of Ranas (Frogs)

8 Jun

I wouldn’t exactly call it a plague but I have escorted four frogs out of the house this week. Where? How? I have no idea. I flicked the light on in the pantry and there at eye level sat a small tree frog. I wanted to go for my camera but I was afraid it would jump and then I’d spend the rest of the night looking for it. I grabbed a yogurt container and carefully slid the lid underneath. After gingerly placing it outside, I returned to turn off the light and THERE WAS ANOTHER ONE! sitting in almost the same spot. Was my mind playing tricks on me? IDK but I repeated the capture and released the bugger outside. If it hadn’t been the third and fourth frog I had captured this week, I’d surely have been ready for the looney bin.

Cute little critters. Stock photo.

    They sure are cute, however, I’m with you. Not in the house!

      Once I opened the tank to the outside toilet and there were several swimming around.

    I used to get frogs breeding in my tiny pond in my small London garden. They used to hop through the French doors into the house and I was forever shooing them out!

    Little frogs are great as long as you can spot them.
    I had a tarantula try to move in with me. I found him walking up the wall of the living room. I removed him, but the following day he or his cousin was back in almost the same spot.. I found and removed four or five tarantulas that summer. None before, none since.

      Wow. Lisa has gotten more tolerant but I think tarantulas would put her over the top.
