Froggy Went A Courting

In the middle of the night one of the first days we were in Hawaii after a sweet much needed (in Hawaii) rain, I woke to the strangest sound...some kind of weird machine sound I thought. I got up to check it out and following the sound went out to the lanai and saw the bird bath filled with about 6 frogs. Some of them were in X rated positions! I went back inside and got my camera but the making of a new generation was no longer happening. I liked the kind of dazed look on this one though.
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs
Nice shot, but ugh, not a fan of these toads, if I have it right they are cane toads, introduced to the island and causing all sorts of problems...

Looks like he's just relaxing in the pool.

@mjalkotzy I'm guessing these won't be around long...the person we rented our cottage from has a night job getting rid of cane toads!

oh wow nice shot, why do they want to get rid of them?

@leananiemand invasive, very invasive and toxic. Apparently their secretions can kill dogs and even humans! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cane_toad

Haha! The morning after! We heard that sound and thought there were huge crickets or something. Learned about the frogs later in our visit but never really saw them. Only head them every night.
