May toad on my palm (out of hibernation)

qwerrie in PhotoFeed • 3 months ago (edited)

Look whom I met when I was digging a bed in my garden!

Some people don't like toads and have prejudices, and are even afraid to pick them up and touch them. Meanwhile, a toad is a very beautiful creature. You can watch at it almost endlessly. Its bumpy, lumpy skin, when wet, shines in the sun like diamond-studded fabric. Note, this is a useful animal - toads destroy mosquitoes. The more toads live on my land, the better for my garden!

It sat quietly on my palm, and I even tried to take a macro photo of the eye. It is mesmerizing... I selected this photo for the current round of the #Photofeed #macro photography contest.

location:	St.Petersburg, Russia	May 2024	natural light

Blah said toad, wake me up when its May.... But Toad it is May said Frog. This reminds me of my daughter's favorite book right now The Adventures of Frog and Toad.

I have a strong penchant for toad kissing, hoping one of them will turn into a prince!:)

😇 but beware... I've hear that one boy kissed a toad, after that said ‘quack!’ - and harnessed to the nearest pond.

...but a good news - the probability is not that high I think... other wise we would hear about a lot of actual cases? right?

No, I think it's being hushed up. It's being kept secret. Question everything!:)

Xe xe,.... maybe! never have seen one alive, except in photos.
Maybe I can elongate her nose in Photoshop, and thus can fool somebody with this. Thanks for providing an idea! 🙃 !BEER

A good thing it is just a little toad kid, not a small crocodile (in comments above I was told they look similar!)

Ahhh yes that is soo true, the nose isn't quite as long as a crocs though (thankfully...🤣)
I wonder if your toad kid will grow up to be like our HUGE cane toads over here in North Queensland..?

Now they are a bit of a menace. They are HUGE, everywhere up there, eat everything- including your pet food and are poisonous too.

I love all animals and although frogs are up in the top of my list, cane toads are wayyyy down there along with Crocs, mozzies, midgies and marchies..

Its great to see you again @qwerrie and you along with many beautiful people here are the reason why I will always come back to the Hive!

I doubt it - the nutritional base here, in the northern europe swamps, is quite slender. but i'm fine with medium-sized toads, too 🐸
