What bothers me most when our ground becomes saturated is it drives the fire ants to higher ground. I might wish I had a narrow-mouthed toad as a roommate instead of a green anole. Ants are a significant part of a narrow-mouth toad’s diet.
The standing water will dry up quickly once the sun comes out leaving tadpoles from rarer frog and toad varieties stranded. I know I will feel compelled to re-locate them to the local agricultural heritage park again where the gatekeeper already announces me as “the frog girl.” I take them dragonfly larvae too. Why can’t I be “the dragonfly girl?” I like that much better.
