haha!!! I want to see one, how big are they really?
unless they jump into your plants or see a tasty bug, frog or small rodent on your plants their safe from all kinds of reptiles
oops, I mean amphibians , well both mostly, their are some frogs and toads that eat plants, but not many.
Bullfrogs eat smaller frogs, and any flying insect. They sit by the lake waiting with their long tongue that flicks out and grabs flies, mosquitoes, moths. And wasps, bees and dragonflies -- they're not at all afraid of them. Bullfrogs also eat small fish, small birds, mice, small snakes -- just about anything, really -- and they have huge appetites. Bullfrog tadpoles also eat the tadpoles of smaller frogs.

We get some very pretty frogs up here in the mountains, all the same species. BUT! Depending on where you find them (upcountry versus downcountry) and the color of the earth they'll be different colors. Some are bright shades of green, others are buffy colored, and others still match the red earth. However, I haven't heard many of them at all lately... nor are we seeing as many bats as we should by this time of year. 
Hmm.. me no likey.
Of course, that's gotten my curiosity up. I'm not sure if the frogs I've seen are Hyla regilla or not. I know! I'll ask my herp geek friends.

Yeah, be careful - I had one plant that mysteriously died overnight - when I investigated, the stem had been snapped below the dirt at the base. I'm sure a big frog or toad had gotten in there and tried to dig in for a cool place to hang out (it's HOT here and the potted plants are the only thing getting regular water). I've seen both big frogs and toads - here's one in a plant that had broken that I was trying to root. A good thing to do is to give them alternatives - a toad house; can be a broken pot that acts like a little cave - whatever will give them a little escape from the heat. Google image toad house and you'll see.

Damn! Maybe that's why I have so many frogs! LOL! Maybe that's why they say don't get that rooting hormone on your skin!
That cutting didn't live - I think it was beyond saving when it was put in there. It's the top of what was my mutant plant. The exhaust fan in the greenhouse fell on it and snapped it - I tried to save that top but it didn't make it.
You people are funny. Thanks for making me laugh on a Monday.
