Oi! We have the odd poisonous snake and a few deadly spiders but the poisonousness of our fauna is vastly overstated! One of the worst offenders is the cane toad which *is* poisonous and which is causing havoc with the native fauna in tropical areas (and its moving its range south all the time). And it's a bloody import! AFAIK tree frogs are not poisonous but I wouldn't want to eat one. For one thing, it's illegal.... Actually, we have green tree frogs here and every summer they turn up on our kitchen window after dark to prey on the moths and beetles attracted to the light from the kitchen. Better entertainment than TV I can tell you :-)> Nice shot, Christian. Can you remember how big it was?
