    Found Frogs

    While messing around the house, ran across some frogs/toads. The white colored one we found on top of camper. and the others we found while moving things around. set the one on ground and it climbed on a rock then a tree. It kind of changed colors a bit as it moved around, but not in grass. There were little frogs everywhere. David said he has seen some cool looking green ones clinging to the house late in the evening. Here are a couple pics. and link to them all. Thought it was kinda cool to see all these.

    These if I remember right are really toads. But the common name is white frog. We had lots of them around till this springs late cold weather after they came out of hibernation.

    Cool little dudes never the less.

    I have pictures of them inside flowers,on a tractor seat, 3 inside a 1 1/2dia. inch PCV pipe, on a maple leaf, a rake handle and many other places.

    They change color. they can go from that gray to the green with a sort of brown inbetween.

    Those are really cool. Interesting that I've never seen any of that variety around my area in Minnesota. I wasn't aware there were toads or frogs that were capable of changing their color, that's neat. We have mainly American and Canadian toad species around commonly.

    Got them climbing/color changing ones all over my windows in the summer, hunting the bugs that gather because of the lights. Fun to watch them catch the bugs.

    No kidding? Never seen one around here. I spent one evening watching a toad feast upon the flying ant hatch late summer. The ants were coming up from underground, and there was this toad just waiting in the grass, ambushing them. I probably watched him eat for 30 minutes, I'm sure the neighbors were wondering why I was staring at the ground for so long. For his size, I was amazed by how many bugs he snatched. . . .

    Yeah I had one of them ride on my car down to work in east St. Paul 52 miles from the house. He decided to climb out from behind the wiper arm as I pulled into the parking lot.
    I like watching the toads too, they get about as big as a tennis ball eating the bug that drop from the lights in front of the garage, usually have 4-5 hanging around all summer.
