It is great to listen to them - brraaad, quack, tink - part of the nightly jungle chorus. But lately the sounds have been far to clear and far to close. And in the morning - frog eggs in the pool - hundreds of them - masses of little black dots floating in clumps - you skim for what seems like hours and there is always MORE!
So in an effort to reduce the amount of sex in the pool, I hear them, grab the skimmer and chase the suckers around the pool! Caught they get the free ride to the jungle! Maybe they will get the point and play someplace else!
Not sure it is working though. Last night we went to sit for dinner and as I walked past the couch on the patio I noticed something - a second take and there in the middle of the seat is a frog - looking like he has settled in for the night! A nudge with the newspaper (the Tico Times is good for something!) and he hopped off into the darkness. An hour later, sitting watching TV and there is movement on the patio - a giant toad sitting under the dining table - he hopped about for a while, checked out the front patio and left. About an hour after that there is this solid noise of something hitting the house - go out front and there is this enormous rhino beetle on his back by the front door - flipped him into the garden and watched him run for cover.
(photos of all but the camera was messed up).
Finally this morning - a new visitor - I believe a poison dart frog!!
