Did you hear what happened to Burt?
« on: May 21, 2017, 17:39:55 »
It was a rainy day here this morning, and the frogs were out in force. This one reminded me of a friendly conversation.

Note the mosquito on the 'posterior' of the right frog.  That had to be a real pain in that area!

Very nice picture.
Maybe the mosquito is more pain to us humans?

Great image

Really glad mosquitoes are not that big in relation to the human body size

Nice story and title. Looks like the left frog ate a few of them mosquitos already ;-). I Like how the frogs skintones and eyes come out.

Thanks everyone for your comments.

Elsa, they are probably both females, based on throat pattern/ coloration, and the size of their tympanic membranes.

Perhaps South African ladies don't gossip, but that hasn't been my experience in the US!

Excellent image and nice title.

The image quality is very good.  In spite of the mosquito on the posterior, the image is not suffering from the mosquito noise.

Burt should have turned his butt around and the problem would have been a spank on the bottom away.
