Eat or be eaten

Hey mosquitoes come over here for a minute. 

Over the last few nights I have been noticing a family of frogs out shopping for groceries. Tonight as I returned from walking I stopped to take some photos of one of the green tree frogs that are a staple every year by my front door.  This year though I have noticed some very small ones like the one in the photo I have posted.   It is only about 1/2 inch long and maybe 1/4 inch wide.  It barely covers one of the slender leaves of the hedge at the front door.  They appear to be very young.  I think these frogs place their eggs in the plants that catch and hold water like bananas and elephant ears.  I have never seen a tadpole from a green frog.  I wonder if they are green.  There is a light that stays on from dusk to dawn and has for years so the frogs and lizards congregate near it every night during the warm summer months.   The frog pictured is catching mosquitos and very small moths.  Most everything else that flys around the light is far too big for it to swallow.   I have seen numerous snakes easing past the glass storm door while I sat watching from inside.  The snakes are in search of small game and you can bet your bottom dollar that frog is on the menu.  It seems as though the snakes may have been successful over the last few nights as the number of frogs I have noticed seems to be declining.   It could be that they are just disperesing to a wider territory.    Thanks for reading my blog tonight.  I hope you have a good evening.  Bye.
