What happens if the fly has drinking Red Bull? Point of Order.... That's not a fly the flog is catching, its a moth. Actually, I don't think them frogs eat moths, therefore the pic is a forgery.

Actually, I don't think them frogs eat moths, therefore the pic is a forgery. All frogs are carnivores that eat different kinds of bugs and meat; however, frogs do have favourite meals, and some species have become specialized eaters based on their size and skills. Small to medium size frogs usually eat insects like mosquitos, moths, dragon flies, flies, and other buzzing things. Medium to large frogs eat larger bugs to fill them up, like worms, grasshoppers, crickets, spiders, beetles, and larger flies. Large frogs might eat a variety of things including bugs, small snakes, other frogs, little fish, mice, baby turtles, and anything moving that’s smaller than their mouths.

Sea Dog Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 I used to collect all kinds of British bugs. By the end of an early summer's morning motorcycle journey from Plymouth to Portsmouth, I'd have all sorts on my visor. The mighty "Cockchafer" was my nemesis - it was like running into a Tesco Finest egg custard tart! They could very easily necessitate an unscheduled stop.
