Coqui's silent?
#21
What I have noticed less of since the frogs' arrival is reptiles. Fewer geckos, anoles, and salamanders. What they've really spoiled is the night sounds. Cricket chirps, geckos kissing, pueo hoots, bufo mating calls, the wind, the "whoosh" sound of coming rain on tin roofs from blocks away, distant surf crashing in stormy weather, all that is gone.

Those B-52s are likely mosquito "dragons," which I'm told prey on mosquito larvae, but I can't verify that.

And one mosquito per coqui would be a help, but researchers seldom find any in the frogs' stomachs.

Enjoy the relative quiet! When the rain starts they will resume their nightly chirping in full force[Sad]

not as big as dragonflies, but big nonetheless--app. 1" wingspan.

heard several coquis last night.
