That's one of the nice things about this place: there seem to be so many frogs. This one ended up wandering into my bathroom. He/she caught his/herself.
I must go and check for eggs and tadpoles around here soon.
I should have added the very interesting piece about the Limnodynastes family which is in the Encyclopedia of Australian Animals - Frogs by Michael J. Tyler. He says " The members of this genus are conspicuous wherever they live and, compared with other genera , population numbers are high. All lay their eggs in foam nests upon the surface of the water. The foam is created by the female which traps air bubbles at the surface of the water with specially broadened fingers, and then throws them downwards and backwards. The air bubbles bounce on her abdomen, pass between her legs, and there become embedded in the egg jelly emerging from her vent."

I thought I was the only one!
Grins--no more teasing, and of course it was friendly. Excited to see, though!
