Description At certain times of the year we have a lot of frogs around our place. This little guy is one of them.

Are you sure it's a frog and not a toad?
Remember, frogs do the tadpole thing.
That'd be one small tadpole.

I have toads, in the thousands, that small around here in the late spring and early summer.

Nice pik too!
I always have problems getting them to stay still long enough to get the proper shot(s).

It is a frog, the toads we have here are bigger and have a different body shape. Their skin is also a different texture.

As a note, is my mom and we live in the same house.

My cat tried to eat them once, apparently they don't taste all that good.

Sure? Not absolutely. Frogs and toads aren't exactly my specialty, but as far as I've been able to discover it is a frog. I've never seen such a small one before, but it has all the same markings and body shape of its (presumably) older kin, which we see so often. My assumption is that it had been a tadpole only recently, and not a frog for very long. We have toads around here too, but I don't think I've got a really good photograph of one yet.

As for staying still, I expected it to hop away before I could grab the camera, but it seemed quite happy just to sit there.


Oh... and thanks.
