This is so cool! We dont have any such thing here, far too dry. So, I'm stuck with collecting fake ones for the garden.

Thanks everyone.

The side of my garage by the light is covered up by them every night. This one was the biggest at around an inch and a half long. All the others are 1/2 to 3/4" and are a dark green. Between them, and the Mocking Birds we have a lot of nature tunes all night.

If I had a macro lens I could get some really good shots of them.

My first thought was ribbit ribbit... I know, dumb joke. But then I thought, this is a great picture. Nice job WooD.
