Toads. *SHUDDER*
We had the strangest summer a few years back. Total drought. It was something I’d never seen before and I’ve lived here (WI) for 55 years now.
Anyhow, there were these HUGE frogs - they weren’t toads, but they looked like Leopard Frogs on steroids. I never did figure out what they were. Even though I live across from a lake, these frogs were EVERYWHERE on my farm during this drought. Anything that had water in it, like rain barrels or watering cans was fair game.
They even got into my basement somehow! I re-located DOZENS of them to a retention pond at work. *SHUDDER* Thank God for ice cream pails with lids, LOL!
It was awful. Like a plague. So, my hearts DO go out to the Australians and what they’ve put up with, via invasive species.
....actually that would be humans.
