There's No Need to Fear.
UnderFrog is Here!
No need to fear unless you are a snail or a slug. This is one snail crunching, slug sucking toad!
Yes, I was corrected, UnderFrog is a toad. We were crushed, UnderToad just doesn't have the same ring to it. Google to the rescue!
I have discovered in my old age that you can prove almost any angle of an argument with Google. [Does that make it the Bible of the internet? Shame on me!! *wink*]
Here is one of several articles I spotted which commented that, "all toads are frogs, but not all frogs are toads."
Please note, there were four snails on his lunch plate a very few minutes ago. I think he's doing a wee bit of digesting before tackling the last one for dessert.
By the way, do frogs/toads/froads burp? Something to ponder while watching this little beastie out the window instead of doing something sensible.
That's all for now,
Farron
[and an indifferent, napping _^..^_ ]
P.S. There is a slightly larger version of the photo hiding behind this little one if you click it.

Farron, you are the only person I know who would give a "dinner plate" to Underfrog. I don't think the _^..^_ is indifferently napping as much as he is embarrased. hehehe. [get away from the keyboard Emma, you can write to Tch later.]
Congratulations on the new addition to your "family". Maybe he will be helpful when those Japanese Beetles come visiting this year.
Posted by: Becky at May 24, 2004 12:55 PMAs much as this may amaze you, I've never actually been close enough to a frog or a toad to authenticate whether it burps or not -- and I can all but guarantee I never will be. Okay, there was Doug and that's only one of the reasons we are no longer dating -- but I digress.
Now I suppose you will be off line scouring the neighborhood for snacks for your new friend?
Sigh......

He's a cutie no doubt!
Posted by: Peggi at May 24, 2004 01:52 PMNow I need a mini-pond so I can encourage breeding of multiple generations of snail crunching, slug sucking machines! Ohhhh, Toooooonnnnyyyyy... I have a project for you! *grin*
