me (cool) sitting here at 8:30 in the morning on youtube watching videos of the notaden genus of toad making their silly little "bwoop" noises

#also everyone tagging that tiktok of the crucifix frog as 'narrowmouth toad' I have to ask have you even SEEN or HEARD a narrowmouth toad #bc they look and sound nothing like that! It's clearly in the same family as spadefoot toads but narrowmouths are not at all similar

[apsciencebydan]

Look, narrowmouth toad sounds are the best sounds. It's just science. And I caught this little lad in full song. 🥹

(I turned the volume of the clip down by 50% and they're still amazingly loud. I love it)

just a heads-up—looks like that singing frog in the video you reblogged is a crucifix frog (Notaden bennettii), which isn’t a narrowmouthed toad (Microhylidae) as tagged but rather a member of the Australia+New Guinea-endemic family Limnodynastidae (aka Australian ground frogs (in part) or foam-nesting ground frogs)

Thank you. Really appreciate that you took the time to send this message. Sorry for the misdirection. The creature in the video is indeed Notaden bennettii. (Dryland frog whose habits remind me of beloved spadefoot toads of North America. Ought to have known: One memorable field guide that I had as a child described how the endemic frogs of Australian/Oceanian deserved notoriety alongside the more-famous endemic marsupials, and as examples the book referred to and included illustrations/photos of the “most amazing” which included the gastric brooding frog, marsupial frog, and the crucifix frog.) Went and looked up the source of the video. It comes from FrogID Australia’s social media, here:

Arright so i saw something really cool in Texas, the kind of thing you read about but don’t expect to actually encounter

I flipped over a rock and found a tarantula sharing its burrow with a tiny narrowmouth toad

This is a symbiotic relationship where the tarantula provides protection and affordable housing, while the toad feeds on ants that could harm the tarantula or its eggs. Other small frogs, lizards etc. are just prey to tarantulas, but they instinctively recognize and welcome narrowmouth toads for their ant-eradication abilities.

Basically, tarantulas keep tiny toads in their home for the same reason humans domesticated cats. This sort of went viral as a piece of trivia a while back, but there’s not a lot of actual photos showing it.

This isn’t the only case of this I saw either. I saw two other burrows with toads in them, including a massive tarantula that had at least 4-5 toads, but they hopped deeper into the burrow before I could take pics.

Anyway here’s some better quality photos I took of both animals during the day. The toad is Gastrophryne olivacea and the tarantula is an Aphonopelma species (probably hentzi but their taxonomy is a clusterfuck)

today’s funky frog of the day is: kaloula mediolineata! commonly known as the siam narrowmouth toad or median-striped bullfrog, they are found in thailand, laos, and southwestern vietnam. they are known mostly from areas originally covered with deciduous dipterocarp forest, and they breed in seasonal pools. unfortunately, these round frogs are threatened by habitat loss as well as human consumption. they feed on a range of live insects, primarily crickets, and they live for 10 years on average.

May 2021: Saturday Evening Post

Friday & Saturday strawberries: 

Mystery tree. I suspect this is a volunteer from the compost bin so maybe a lemon or orange: 

I don’t normally tie our tomatoes to the structure we grow them on. Instead, I thread them through it so the structure & the plants themselves provide the support. This tomato plant is still relatively small so I’m just threading the strongest leaf stems through the fencing to provide support. It requires daily checking to make sure you thread the top-heavy parts back through but I find it way more convenient than tying. Side note - indeterminate tomatoes will outgrow any prefabricated tomato cage that can be bought. It is better & cheaper in the long run to build your own structures: 

A shot of the backyard garden from the northwest corner facing south: 

Sweat bee: 

All the flowers in bloom in our garden & it would rather crawl on my hairy leg: 

We went out to Plot 420 today to do some amending & planting.

Who is this peeping at me from the hole made by our wind spinner?: 

It’s an Eastern Narrowmouth Toad. These guys are hardly rare in our area but, even though I have been a keen overturner of rocks & logs since I was a child, this is the first one that I’ve ever seen. Just a reminder that “common” isn’t always common: 

Onions, shallots & leeks planted. They’re planted a little close but we are planning for some failures. If they are all successful, we have space to transplant them into so no worries: 

We amended the soil today with bone meal, nitrogen, Garden-tone fertilizer & lime. We also spread out a little garden soil to help up the organic content in some parts of the plot:

A brand new type of dinosaur went out this week! A custom little triceratops (and a keychain) off to South Carolina! Adopted by @thejessfrank South Carolina Fact: This state is home to reptiles such as American alligators, corn snakes, and gopher tortoises. Amphibians like the eastern narrowmouth toad and pine barrens tree frog can also be found in the state. Image description: a white crochet dinosaur sits in front of a letterboard. The dinosaur has a pink skirt and a white cowboy hat. The dinosaur has stripes in the color light pink, hot pink, black, dark blue, and light blue. The letterboard says “Dinosaur 221, Going home to CT!” Peaches the Triceratops pattern by @irenestrange in the book “Dinosaurs, Mammoths and more Prehistoric Amigurumi” #thatssewlacey #dinosaur #dino #ami #amigurumi #handmade #makersgonnamake #crochet #crocheteveryday #crocheter #crochetersofinstagram #giftideas #crochetaddict #ilovecrochet #crocheting #crochetersoftheworld #amigurumis #amigurumilovers #yarnstagram #yarnlover #crochetallday #iloveyarn #amigurumitoys #yarnlife #crochetamigurumi #crochetshop #triceratops #amigurumiaddict #amigurumicrochet #handmadewithjoann (at South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcLg645u8ZM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
