Default I`ve caught bugs before but never a frog.

Went under the car yesterday to change the oil. I looked up into my radiator area and saw this frog all dried up. I`ve had lots of other things caught up in there but never a frog, maybe its time for the mesh cover.

I caught a few frogs on a trip down to ECS. It was raining cats and dogs going through Maine and they were all over the road. I guess a few hitched a ride to get out of the rain. When Mark put the car up on the hoist out they came petrified. Chris kept one on his desk for awhile I don't know if he still has it.

I gotta get a pic of what lives in my Vararam and post it. There's a 3 or 4 foot black snake living in the bushes next to the car and every once in a while I'll come out and he'll be sticking his head out of the passenger side foglight hole. I've seen lizards sunning themselves on the foglight shelf and they run up the intake hole to hide. Guess I should buy the screens.

Been there a couple of times. Especially late summer,you can them jumping across the road in mass numbers. They get stuck in the radiator and between the air dam and the bumper. We did install s.s. mesh screens to keep them out of the radiator. It's really nice when you run over a big fat one.
