    the all-time worst hideout

    For some reason I decided to look up a tube of a windchime. This thing is consistantly "chiming". I think these must be the North American canteersquat frogs.

    Frog 1: " yeah buddy, real nice place ya got here!"

    Frog 2: Huh?

    Great find! How'd they get in there??? That's pretty funny actually, I can just imagen an insect flying bye and a frogs tongue shooting out from the bamboo tube.

    The chime is actually right by the front door. We leave the outdoor light on for a few hours nightly to feed the frogs They come out every night to feast on the insects that are attracted to the light. I'm just surprised that they can stand it in that LOUD environment.

    Cool image! Do you have images of them out because they look like grey treefrogs to me and I'd like to know if I'm right

    Had a hard time getting them to stay still long enough to get a good shot. So Paul, what kind are they?
