Great to have them around to take care of some of those pecky little creatures that haunt us in summer's warm air. I enjoyed reading this one today. Your reviews of my work were delightful. Sara

Frogs with their sticky tongue are quite quick to act and trap the prey! Good one, Bill !

You captured a stunning scene with words, I can imagine the frog shooting his tongue to capture the fly. Thanks for the grin.
