Cool beans! I love watching the little garden animals do their thing! How nice of you to help them get their dinner. Too cold up here for anoles, but if I weed up a cutworm, I've been known to put it near one of my garden toad friends for a snack. Due to our very wet spring and early summer, we have an overabundance of teeny little toads and frogs of all kinds this fall. You can't take a step in the garden without seeing two or three hoop away. I wonder how many will make it through the winter. One wet year about 20 years ago we had babyJefferson salamanders all over the place, but I have not seen any of them for many years.

Thanks ddsack

We must be about as far apart climate wise as it gets in the lower 48. It sure is a great feeling to feed the beneficial creatures with trespassing pests that prey on our tomatoes. After squashing one too many caterpillars and developing an ant problem as a result, I needed another solution and started throwing them in the fishpond. I was never sure what happened. It is much better to see them, as they say, go down the hatch!

Glad your amphibious friends are there to give you a hand, the more the merrier, and that we've both found productive ways to be part of the food chain that probably have the neighbors wondering if we've lost our marbles ;-)
