Sometimes nature gives us the most amazing opportunities for photography, and this little one did just that when, hunting for flies, the small Cuban Tree Frog bit off more than it could chew!
When out hunting for bugs in the garden of photographer James Snyder, this little chap swallowed a whole fairy light bulb and wouldn’t let go!
Florida based James garden is decorated with colourful lights and he noticed that the frogs in his garden had figured out that the lights attracted bugs, this little one went two far however and took the whole fairy light!
James says “I have a large mango tree by my patio and my wife and I have Christmas lights wrapped around the trunk and main limbs to light it up from underneath.
'I took my dog out back when I noticed the frog glowing on the tree and at first I thought that the frog was sitting on top of the light.
'I quickly put my dog back inside and grabbed my camera, but I was convinced that he would be gone by the time I returned but when I got back he was still sitting there glowing away. I began taking a few pictures from about four or five feet away because I did not want to scare him and make him move. I zoomed in and noticed that the wire was actually going into the frogs’ mouth, he had swallowed the entire light, he wasn't sitting on it at all.'
Concerned for the frogs’ welfare, James was able to remove the bulb from the frogs’ mouth as it was still attached to the wire and the frog seemed fine and completely unphased by the whole episode.
Goodness knows what the little guy would make of our Solar Frog String Lights!
