Wow! Almost a year since my last post. Since I probably only have two (high guess) readers I guess it doesn't matter.

I mean, really, what's the point of a blog that just posts links to other blogs. I should just start emailing links around.

edit:
Some great photos of frog and spider together here: http://www.anura.it/photography/spider-frog
Also some photos of young tarantulas co-feeding on another species of frog. Crazy!

There might be hope for some frogs

I'm a big fan of parasites since reading Parasite Rex by Carl Zimmer. I'm also a fan of invasive species (ok, not so much a fan, but I enjoy reading about them) since Kim Todd's Tinkering With Eden. This little piece of news contains both.

I've had this picture on my work desktop for about a week. I can't stop looking at it.
I might have to pick some of these up for my own collection.
